Easy classroom integration

Teachers integrate these tools seamlessly into their daily instruction:

"We use ABC Reading Eggs every day," shares teacher Ashleigh Warden. "We log on and read a book together as a class and then do comprehension activities to go with it. ABC Reading Eggs is a really good resource for us – it's engaging for the students as they're able to read a variety of stories."

Tracking student success

As students progress through their reading journey, the program's ability to track and celebrate achievements has proven invaluable. Ashleigh notes with enthusiasm:

"The joy students get when they finish completing an activity and the excitement once they've moved along their Maps is engaging... it's always providing an opportunity for them to learn and grow."

Real results from teachers and students

The impact of ABC Reading Eggs extends beyond traditional metrics, creating genuine excitement for learning. Teachers witness the daily transformation, while students eagerly embrace their reading journey:

"When you unlock levels the characters move around or jump or do something — it's really motivating!" shares one student. Another adds, "My favourite part is that there are lots of different places to go. You can earn points by doing lessons, then use them to play games, which include reading as well."

Mathletics: Driving maths achievement at Calvary Christian College

Building on their literacy success, Calvary Christian College uses Mathletics to support and enrich their maths instruction, creating an environment where every student can thrive.

A research-backed maths solution

Mathletics' evidence-based approach delivers personalised learning through engaging activities and immediate feedback.

This comprehensive program also carefully aligns with state-specific educational frameworks including The Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 (used in ACT, NT, SA, and TAS), the new NSW Syllabus, the Australian Curriculum in Queensland, the Victorian Curriculum Version 2.0 and the Western Australian Curriculum.

Seamless classroom integration

The program's versatility shines in daily classroom activities:

"Mathletics is used every time we do maths," explains teacher Elise Vargas. "From the teacher resources to the in-class lessons, you save time everywhere. It's one of those tools that you can jump into straight away, with resources for the teacher, worksheets for your class and independence for students."

Tracking student success

This consistent integration goes hand in hand with robust progress monitoring:

"For us, we always look for a year's worth of growth in learning and that's something that Mathletics really helps us with," Elise shares. "It allows us to keep track of all the data the students complete throughout the program and we're able to see where some of the gaps are or where extension is needed."

Real results from teachers and students

Perhaps most importantly, the program ensures every student can succeed at their own pace:

"Mathletics really does a great job of targeting students where they're at and where they need to go next," notes Elise. "It allows us to differentiate and extend those students who need to go further by using multiple aspects of the program."
