I recently visited with several students regarding spending more time working on IXL recommended skills to help improve their IXL levels. If your child was one I visited with, then we have agreed on a weekly schedule for IXL practice, which will begin the week of Sept. 25th. Please take a minute to visit with your child to see if they have an IXL practice schedule, and if so, encourage them to make sure they are getting their practice sessions in according to the practice schedule we have agreed upon. If you are wondering what IXL is…IXL uses insights, within the computer program, from student work in the curriculum and the Real-Time Diagnostic to generate personalized guidance for each learner. These personalized action plans seamlessly link students to the skills that will help them build on their knowledge and remediate gaps in understanding. Thank you in advance for your support.
