Our school has purchased a subscription to a research-based standards mastery program called Study Island. While this is available students can access Study Island free of charge anywhere that internet access is available! Study session results are automatically recorded for teacher's review, including the results from sessions completed outside of school.
The program is divided into sections based on subject (math, reading, writing science and social studies). Each section is made up of 15 to 30 topics, with each topic containing about 20 to 30 questions.
Try Follow the instructions below to use the program:
1. Go to www.studyisland.com
2. Enter username and password at the upper left side of the screen, and click "submit." (Students will receive a username and password from their school.)
3. Click on a subject.
4. If this is the first time using the program click "Pretest." You must complete 10 pretest questions to unlock the rest on the content in the subject. If there is no Pretest option, or if you have already taken the Pretest, you may move on to the other content topics.
5. Choose a Session Type. The default setting is Test mode, however students may also select Printable Worksheet or Game mode if permitted by the school.
6. To pass a topic, you must meet the passing requirements, which are based on a minimum number of questions answered (usually 10) and a minimum percentage correct (around 70%). A blue ribbon icon is displayed next to all passed topics.
7. Once you have completed the Protest, you may work through the remainder of the topics in any order. You must pass all topics before taking the Post Test.
