DreamBox has been carefully evaluated by Spanish student focus groups and undergone lengthy consultation with Spanish-speaking teachers to provide students with the best possible Spanish math experience. 100% means: All voiceovers and character dialogue, all lessons and the user experience and all closed captions.
At Aldeane Comito Ries Elementary School, where 96 percent of students are English Language Learners, students using DreamBox for 60 minutes per week on average, progressed an ENTIRE YEAR within the DreamBox curriculum. Students in 1st grade saw an average of two years’ growth!
We have used DreamBox, specifically in Spanish, to close those gaps, and make grade level content both accessible in and comprehensible. These students have absolutely soared. Within one semester they have grown two grade levels, and are officially able to take part in whole group instruction with ESL support, all thanks to DreamBox.
