PreK-2 Students Using Imagine Español Show Higher Scores and Growth According to Two New Studies

Scottsdale, Ariz., JUNE 21, 2022 – Imagine Learning, the largest provider of digital curriculum solutions in the U.S., serving 15 million students in more than half the school districts nationwide, today announced the results of two new studies revealing that students who used Imagine Español demonstrated significant academic gains on standardized assessments. The studies took place in two separate public school districts in Texas during the 2020-2021 school year.

“Students are thriving through the use of adaptive, personalized learning solutions and we’re delighted to see Imagine Español helping to accelerate learning while developing the foundational skills essential to bilingualism, biliteracy, and cultural competency,” said Jeff Pendleton, SVP and General Manager of Supplemental and Intervention for Imagine Learning. “As we continue to collaborate with districts, the results of these studies show what the future of learning can look like when the power of technology is harnessed to support educators.”

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE STUDIES

Imagine Español was implemented with Prekindergarten students in a public school district in Texas. To measure changes in Spanish literacy skills, Imagine Learning obtained and analyzed Spanish CIRCLE Progress Monitoring System (CIRCLE) scores of 1,495 Imagine Español students and a comparison group of 1,495 students. Findings from the study show that after one year of using Imagine Español, students’ performance on the Spanish CIRCLE assessment grew 12 percent more than students who did not use the program. Imagine Español students demonstrated greater growth on CIRCLE in Spanish Overall, Rapid Letter Naming, Rapid Vocabulary, and Letter-Sound Correspondence scores.
Imagine Español was implemented with students in Grades K-2 in YES Prep Public Schools in Texas. To measure the impact of Imagine Español on Spanish reading skills, Imagine Learning analyzed Spanish NWEA MAP Growth Reading data from 44 Imagine Español students and 44 nonparticipating peers. From Winter 2020 to Spring 2021, findings from the study show that Imagine Español students demonstrated significantly greater gains on the Spanish MAP Growth Reading test than their nonparticipating peers. Second-grade students who used Imagine Español significantly outperformed their nonparticipating peers, improving by six Rasch Unit (RIT) score points while their peers showed no growth.

Imagine Learning Taps Speech Recognition Technology to Help Educators Quickly and Accurately Assess Reading and Language Skills

On the heels of a successful pilot across the country, Imagine Learning partners with SoapBox Labs, the leading developer of speech recognition technology designed just for kids.

Scottsdale, Ariz. APRIL 19, 2022 – Imagine Learning, whose literacy solutions are used by millions of students across the U.S., today announced a new partnership with SoapBox Labs, the Dublin-based speech recognition company that powers joyful learning and play experiences for kids. Beginning this summer, Imagine Learning’s Language & Literacy program will include Fluent Reader+, a new tool powered by SoapBox’s voice technology, giving educators a seamless, scalable and more accurate approach to assessments of students’ reading and language learning progress.

Voice-enabled tools save educators time by replacing the cumbersome, manual assessment of students’ reading and language acquisition with an approach that is reliable, accurate, and automated. The feedback loop created by the SoapBox voice engine also makes it easier to monitor progress, giving teachers more frequent and better insights into where students need support on their literacy and language journey.

“We’ve long imagined the possibility of speech recognition technology to help teachers make the most of their time in the classroom,” said Jeff Pendleton, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Supplemental and Intervention at Imagine Learning. “But most speech engines have been designed primarily for adults and don’t work well for kids. The results of our pilot with SoapBox’s voice engine show that it not only works accurately for children, but also for a diversity of accents, dialects, and learning abilities. This is exciting for us and for educators everywhere.”

Imagine Language & Literacy is an award-winning adaptive learning program that accelerates literacy and English language development for students in grades PreK–6. More than 20,000 educators log in to the program daily and 65% of student users are emergent bilinguals. In a three-month pilot with 15,000 students from diverse backgrounds using SoapBox’s voice technology, Imagine Language & Literacy’s Fluent Reader+ was able to score oral reading fluency and language artifacts with a level of accuracy comparable to that of experienced educators in the classroom. Moreover, teachers in the pilot accessed the oral scoring tool 165 percent more often than their peers, reflecting their feedback that automation resulted in them using the tool more frequently and with more students.

“At SoapBox Labs, we pride ourselves on building speech recognition technology for kids that is accurate, inclusive, and fair. We are delighted to have been selected by Imagine Learning to service their user base of students, educators, and classrooms across the US,” said Martyn Farrows, CEO of SoapBox Labs. “This partnership is borne out of a focus on constant innovation and improvement, and we are excited about the opportunities for working together in the future.”

About SoapBox Labs

SoapBox Labs makes kids’ unique voices heard in the digital world. Our speech technology is proprietary and built from the ground up to empower children grades PreK-12 of every accent and stage of development to have joyful and immersive digital experiences. SoapBox powers voice-enabled learning and play experiences for third party clients in the education, gaming, media and entertainment industries.

SoapBox is a privacy-first company and offers full transparency with respect to the processing and storage of voice data in full compliance with US COPPA and EU GDPR legislation. Voice data is never shared outside the company, sold to third parties or used for marketing or advertising purposes.
