What's New
A unique game reward for each subject has been added - WordSearch (English), Crossword Puzzles (Reading), and NumberNudge (Math). All content is matched to the student's grade level.
App Description
Minutes a Day - Mastery for a Lifetime. Smart-EZE apps are designed for review of Math, English Grammar, and Reading Comprehension materials learned during the previous school year, for grades 1-5. Smart-EZE provides the necessary interactive review and practice that allows students to retain important math and language arts skills, not only over the summer break, but for their entire lives!
Based on the award winning Summer Solutions Workbooks, the first Smart-EZE lesson is free for a single subject and grade level of your choice.
FOR STUDENTS - Many studies indicate that without some form of academic engagement over the summer break, children forget much of what they learned during the previous school year. It is recommended that the students complete a lesson three times per week over the summer break, using a strategy known as interleaved practice. Interleaving requires students to systematically re-visit and practice material that has already been mastered. This is the only type of practice that ensures long-term retention. By spacing the lessons over a ten-week period, students are able to return to school in the fall, having remembered what they were taught in previous years and ready to begin learning new material right away.
As an incentive, there is a unique game reward for each subject - WordSearch (English), Crossword Puzzles (Reading), and NumberNudge (Math). All content is matched to the student's grade level. Rewards are unlocked when a minimum of 15 trophies is achieved. Additional rewards features and bonus games are unlocked when you achieve a trophy for 100% of the lessons.
FOR PARENTS - Parents have the capability of tracking their children's progress.
Features include:
• Comprehensive lessons for Math, English Grammar, and Reading, grades 1- 5
• Over 400 interactive questions per subject and grade level
• First lesson in any subject, any grade is FREE!
• Capability for parents to track their children's progress
