Do more to improve your score - With Ignite by Hatch™!
Newly released scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, often referred to as the Nation’s Report Card, show that fourth graders have lost ground in reading and Math— not just compared with the status quo of 2019, but also the most recent round of the exam, which was conducted during the heart of the pandemic.
We need to do more to reverse this frustrating trend, starting now, and starting with our youngest learners.
Backed by standards-aligned practices, Ignite by Hatch™ is a game-based software that children adore, and its impact is automatically translated into valuable data on Hatch’s Insights dashboard.
Summer break is a time for fun and relaxation, but research shows that children can lose up to two months of academic progress during the summer months, particularly in literacy and math skills. Ignite™ offers a powerful solution to this challenge, ensuring that young learners continue to grow academically while enjoying engaging, play-based activities. By incorporating as little as 30 minutes of independent practice per week, Ignite helps children maintain and build upon the skills they’ve developed during the school year. Ignite’s interactive, research-based activities target critical early learning skills across seven developmental domains, including literacy, math, and social–emotional development.
Builds Critical Skills
Ignite’s personalized learning approach ensures that each child receives activities tailored to their developmental level and unique learning needs. Here are some examples of the key skills that Ignite focuses on:
- Phonemic awareness and early literacy: Activities like rhyming and letter recognition games help children develop the foundational skills needed for reading success.
- Math readiness: Interactive games that emphasize counting, patterns, and basic problem-solving keep young learners on track with numeracy skills.
- Executive functioning and self-control: Activities that promote self-regulation, turn-taking, and empathy build critical life skills that prepare children for collaborative classroom environments.
Real-Time Data at Your Fingertips
One of Ignite’s standout features is its ability to provide teachers and administrators with actionable insights through a real-time data dashboard. This tool allows educators to
- monitor each child’s progress and identify areas where additional support may be needed;
- tailor instruction and interventions to meet the specific needs of their students; and
- share meaningful progress updates with families, fostering a strong home–school connection.
By leveraging this data, teachers can ensure that their summer programs are both effective and responsive, maximizing the impact of every learning opportunity.
A Proven Solution for Summer Success.
