Something for Everyone: Announcing the Version 6 Update!

We are thrilled to announce our latest update to the Footsteps2Brilliance Enterprise App that includes a wealth of new books, games, and features organized so that it’s easy to find delightful new content that is just right for you!

New levels for beginning, intermediate, and advanced readers and writers give children and teachers a quick way to find books and games at just the right level of challenge. To make it even easier on mobile devices, users can download an entire level of books, games, and activities to their device with a single click.

Using the Footsteps2Brilliance books as a catalyst, the Project Based Learning modules have students explicitly define advanced vocabulary, conduct independent research, analyze their findings, use graphic organizers, and create a variety of evidence they can share to demonstrate their deeper understanding. With Version 6, children can complete and submit their projects online. We have even added new rigorous projects related to the new books in version 6!

A new Doodle Pad gives students a place to practice writing letters and numbers wherever you go.
