Videos of real children learning with real instructors introduce each core concept, followed by in-depth models of core concepts. Interactive Practice is provided on each core concept of word study, using real student work spelling and writing samples, so professionals can master concepts. Learners finally take on-screen Reviews that show their comprehension through built-in assessment with immediate feedback. The workshop tracks individual responses so professionals can drill to the level they desire or are required to demonstrate. At the end of the workshop, an Assessment Module testing the listed objectives of each module (also customizable to developmental stage) shows facilitators and administrators how their faculty fared in the course.
