STUDY ISLAND!

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Our district has purchased a subscription for each child to a standards based program called Study Island.   During our subscription, your child can access Study Island free of charge anywhere that internet access is available! 

 

Study Island provides:

  • Rigorous academic content that is both fun and engaging
  • Web-based instruction, practice, assessment and reporting built from the Illinois State Learning Standards
  • Research-based with proven results for all students
  • Easy to use (in the classroom, library or home)

 

Eastwood School has developed an incentive program to recognize and reward those students who receive blue ribbon status.  Specific details regarding this incentive program will be discussed with students. 

 

We are excited about the benefits this program can bring to our students! We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and promote the use of Study Island at home to increase your child’s reading and math skills!  Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher at anytime if you have questions regarding Study Island. 

 

Using Study Island from Home

Study session results are automatically recorded for teacher review, including results from sessions completed outside of school.  The program is divided into sections based on subject (math, reading, etc.) Each section is made up of 15-30 topics, with each topic containing 20-30 questions.  Topics are accompanied by a lesson, which contains a brief overview of the material covered in that topic.

 

Please follow the instructions below to get your child started on Study Island today!
