iStartSmart Adventures

iStartSmart® Shell Squad Adventures is part of the award winning iStartSmart® Elite Learning System by
Hatch that presents a scaffolded set of learning games in English and Spanish designed to help children
ages 28 months to 5 years old build foundational literacy and math skills for kindergarten readiness
while developing empathy and self-esteem. Progress monitoring data of individual children and class
performance is automatically transferred to a Hatch Reporting System for easy monitoring and
management by teachers of early learning classrooms.

kindergarten readiness that progress through 4 levels
- Personalized learning with patented photo login
- Teachers and administrators can set each child to the language profile appropriate to his or her program, including All-English, All-Spanish, or English or Spanish versions of math or literacy
- Game play progress and skill achievement data automatically captured in an easily accessible reporting
system so teachers can help children get ready for kindergarten by monitoring individual child progress
for refocused learning or additional small group instruction
- Intrinsic and extrinsic reward system for each learning game for child engagement with their learning
achievement

Security/confidentiality:
