Using Mobile Technology & Game Methodology to Scale Student Achievement in the 
Early Years
Thursday, February 9th - 4pm Eastern Time
 
In This Session
It is estimated that 46% of children enter kindergarten at risk of failure, and 
88% of them never catch up.  Many of these children lack the vocabulary and oral 
language skills needed for academic success, and more than half of them have no 
books in their homes.  How can we make language poor environments language rich? 
 Join Ilene Rosenthal, CEO and Founder of Footsteps2Brilliance™, for our 
community’s next webinar to learn how mobile technology may be the game changer 
for successfully scaling student achievement in the early years.  Ilene will 
highlight a case study in which ELL children, who had never before been to 
school, used mobile technology to prepare for kindergarten.  Learn about the 
program that combined mobile apps, educational games, assessments, and parent 
training to advance the comprehension skills of these young students to get them 
off to a better start in school.  Don’t miss this interactive, one-hour webinar 
on February 9th to learn how your school or district can use mobile technology 
to improve school readiness for more of your students.
