Fun Adaptive Learning for K-12 Students
Freckle is used as an adaptive platform to support our students in reading and math skills. The reading platforms support students' phonics foundation skills, reading comprehension, grammar, and adaptive reading levels. The math platform coordinates with the state standards to measure and meet the adaptive needs of students. Freckle and Star Assessments connect to ensure students are working on their appropriate level. Freckle offers a variety of resources to help identify areas for improvement, progress, as well as growth on both platforms. We actively use Freckle each day with student choice options, as well as teacher-created assignments. Freckle offers feedback, collaboration, and motivation to ensure continued student involvement.
- Freckle does a great job adapting lessons.
- Freckle does a great job motivating students and participation.
- Freckle is very interactive with students and teachers to support continued participation.
- Freckle provides DOK challenge questions that support students' understanding after standards are met.
- Student inquiry and problem-based questions are also new additions to Freckle that help support led activities.
- I would like to see more reinforcement or reteaching videos to assign.
- Lesson organization tools would support the long list of assignments collect over weeks or semesters.

Freckle in the Elementary
Our district began using Freckle by Renaissance for summer school last year. My students enjoy the avatars and earning coins. There are many options and many reports. Students are able to practice state standards, adaptive, and targeted skills. The customer service has been very helpful with the premium program. We also received several trainings before implementing the system.
- adaptive math practice
- math fact practice
- a variety of reading in fiction and non fiction
- targeted math practice
- ability to focus on common core standards
- There are SO many options- more training on how to limit and set focus would help
- more training on how to assign and what to assign to influence growth reports
- focus skills and missing skills should automatically be assigned- not something teachers need to find in a report to assign

Freckle Is So Helpful
I am a Title 1 reading teacher and Dyslexia Specialist. I love that I can create my own classes with the particular students that I serve. In one class I have students ranging from 6th grade to 2nd grade. I am able to assign lessons based on their needs. For instance, a student in 6th grade may need help with comprehension whereas my 2nd-grade student needs more help in foundation reading skills. These students are only with me for about an hour a day, but I can assign lessons that they are able to accomplish anywhere. Upon completion of their assignments, I am able to see how well they are accomplishing their tasks. With this information, I can determine whether I need to continue teaching a particular skill. Freckle is very useful. Several of our teachers have used it in the past or are still using it presently.
- Freckle offers ELA lessons for all skills from foundational to comprehension and higher-level thinking skills.
- The reports are very easy to read and show specific areas of success or need.
- Freckle is very useful when teachers need to assign lessons for Alternate Methods of Teaching (AMI) days.
- I love the simplicity of Freckle. The site is easy to use and navigate. Setting up my classes was an easy task.
- My students get bored with just answering questions the whole time. They complain about having to get on to Freckle.
- I would like to see open ended or open response questions.
- I would like for Freckle to be able to assess fluency.

Fantastical Freckle
Freckle reinvented our online math instruction. With distance learning and the daily struggle to keep our students engaged, Freckle provided a platform for success. The combination of engaging characters and the colorful, quick mathematical problems (numeracy, number sense, and computation) gave my first graders a reason to turn on their iPads and tackle their assignments. The reports provided by Freckle are insanely useful. As an educator time is always a factor and desegregating data is always a chore. Freckle made understanding my students' strengths and weaknesses easy and subsequently allowed me as their teacher to plan meaningful instruction to fill educational gaps. Freckle is a wonderful product and one I would highly recommend.
- Provides fun and meaningful activities at grade level.
- Simple and clear reports that provide a meaningful snapshot of student achievement.
- Great tech support and assistance to navigate the Freckle journey.
- I was wowed by Freckle. Maybe our lack of access on the reservation makes me easily impressed, but at this time I cannot find fault in the programming.

Freckle: A Math Program that Works!
The third and fourth-grade teachers in my school building use Freckle math as a resource. They used it during distance learning as the bulk of the math curriculum. During the regular year, they use it to differentiate for student needs and augment the regular curriculum. We believe that every single student is deserving a year's growth in a year's worth of time. This is true no matter if a student begins at, below, or above grade level in math. Freckle helps us meet students' unique needs so that we reach the goal of all making a year's progress minimum in a year's time.
- Differentiation: Students are guided though lessons that fit their unique learning needs.
- Data collection: Teachers have access to ongoing reports that help them tailor instruction.
- Versatility: Students can access Freckle from any computer at any time.
- Price: In a perfect world, Freckle would be less expensive.

Easy Freckle
It is being used by certain grades/teams. Not every grade in elementary school uses it on a regular basis, but a few do.
- It is simple and easy to give assignments. I can see sample questions, see the standards, and check students' scores/results with ease. It is also easy for the students to find their results.
- Logging in is easy for students. There is a class code and then they simply type in their name.
- Freckle is fun for students. They love earning coins and getting the chance to buy different accessories for their avatars.
- I wish it had more standards under targeted practice for math.

Freckle Math in Middle School
Math teachers at my school are using it in their classrooms and in remote learning. It helps us target skills that students are weak in and let us assign individualized practices for them. There are videos and other help sections for students as well. They have sections where they can practice math facts to get points for their avatar.
- Targeted practice.
- Easy to group students and assign practice that way.
- Easy to use at home (remote learning).
- More questions/practice for specific subsets of skills.
