"Once students reach fourth grade, most of the information they need is given to them in textual format where the focus changes from learning to read, to reading to learn."
THE ACCESS CENTER (2007)
There are multiple Launchpads at every reading level. Using a variety of apps, storybooks, and videos, each tablet is made to complement the others at that level and give kids a variety of ways to acquire new skills. Young learners can borrow one and then move to another in any order. Advancing from one Reading Academy level to the next can take up to a year.
