Benefits of Program
Versatiles are a hands-on skills practice with a self-checking answer system. In the multiage classroom there are numerous opportunities for students to practice skills independently while other students receive direct instruction from their teacher. During these independent activities, it is important for students to be able to self check their work for errors. Versatiles provide students with instructional visuals, across various strands of standards with an explicit method of checking their work independently or with a partner.
Success of Program
Versatiles provide engaging, screen-free alternatives to traditional skills practice. The Self-checking answer system creates a safe learning environment that increases student confidence. Both the literacy and math versatiles sets include Flexible, reliable, low-prep classroom solutions for each educator to provide differentiated support to students. The skills and knowledge featured in each grade level set are aligned to state and national standards.
