Study Island FAQ

The following information went home in today's graded papers.  Study Island is a tool we will be using throughout the year, and will account for a portion of your child's reading grade.

What is Study Island?

·         Study Island is an all online product designed to help your child master the standards specific to his or her grade level in your state.

 

Fast Facts:

·         Every student has his/her own username and password.

·         The program is divided into sections based on subject.

·         Each subject is made up of topics, each of which corresponds to a specific state standard.

·         Each topic contains lessons, practice questions and explanations.

·         Most topics are accompanied by a lesson which includes some brief information about the material covered by the questions in the topic.

·         Your child can also incorporate games into their studies while on Study Island, if the school allows.

 

How do I log in to Study Island?

·         Go to www.studyisland.com and enter your username and password.

 
How does my child use Study Island?

·         After signing in on Study Island’s home page, click the subject tab on which you wish to work or check your student’s class page for assignments created by your child’s teacher.

·         To pass a topic, your child must satisfy the topic’s passing goal which is based on a minimum number of questions answered and a minimum percentage correct. A blue ribbon is displayed next to all passed topics.

·         Once your child has passed all of the topics in the subject, he or she will have to pass the Post Test for the subject. Ignore this step if the subject has no Post Test.

·         Once your child passes all topics in all sections, he has completed the Study Island program.

Study Island

Many of you have asked for a resource to use at home, and Study Island is a great one!  It covers Reading, Math, and Science topics, however, I currently am only assigning Reading topics (which are also graded!).

Each student has a log in and a password (written in the front cover of their planners).  Just visit Study Island and get started!

Study Island

One thing that we work on in class is Study Island.  Study Island is a fantastic learning tool that reinforces skills we are working on in class.  Students have assignments to complete (which are graded), but they can also go ahead and work on other skills.  When students master a skill, they are awarded a blue ribbon.  Not only does this help remediate skills that students maybe struggling with, but it also challenges those students who may be advanced on a topic.  Once students reach 75% mastery, the games that go along with that skill are unlocked - which the students love to play!

The great thing is, it can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection!

Visit - www.studyisland.com  your student should know their log in i.d. and password.  If not, please email me and I will get that information to you.
