What’s new for back to school 2026 

Imagine Sonday System Secondary 1: reimagined for older learners

Based on educator feedback, we’ve created a new product based on Imagine Sonday System 1 but now thoughtfully redesigned for grades 4 and above. This digital-first update delivers the proven explicit and structured instruction in a more age-appropriate and engaging format. Enhancements include a modernized interface, new decodable readers, updated songs across three music genres, refreshed game graphics, and streamlined navigation.

New instructional services for placement and intervention

Two new remote services help schools overcome staffing and time constraints while expanding access to literacy intervention. Imagine Learning can administer placement tests — including scheduling, scoring, and data entry — to ensure students are placed quickly and accurately. In addition, certified Intervention Specialists now provide remote delivery of Imagine Sonday System 1 and 2, giving schools flexible, scalable support without adding staff.

Refreshed Reporting Hub experience

The redesigned Reporting Hub offers a more intuitive, streamlined way to access data. Administrators and teachers can quickly view student and class performance — including placement, usage, growth, and mastery insights — with clearer organization and improved navigation.

Get all the details on these updates and more.
