  E. Mindplay Reading Program
   

Here is the Mindplay Proposal for the 2017-2018 school year for the board. Here are some talking points: 
$4800.00 Annually
- Explicitly teaches phonics and grammar to dyslexic students and struggling readers.
- Guarantees 1 grade level of improvement for all students when used with fidelity for 30 school days. 
- 40 licenses will cover all 7-9 students in Supplemental LA and additional students as determined by Beth Puckett and Penny Hernandez at the Elementary.
- Each license includes unlimited access for the student from any computer. 
- Licenses can be transferred from student to student as students pass out of the program.
- Eliminates the need for a Reading Interventionist to specifically work on phonics at the JH.
- Piloted with a few students during 2016-2017 school year and we were impressed with the data generated and ease of use.
