Texas SUCCESS Will Continue to Provide Free Istation Access for Texas' Grade 3-5 Students, With the Addition of Spanish Instruction

/EINPresswire.com/ -- DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - August 04, 2016) - Texas SUCCESS will provide free and unlimited access, both at school and at home, to Istation Reading (grades 3-5) and Istation Reading en Español (grade 3) for all students in public schools and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas.

Participating students will have access to the program both at school and at home. Additionally, Istation will provide 40 regional trainings and multiple webinars as part of the initiative. These Istation programs and services will be available via Texas SUCCESS until August 31, 2017.

"We are honored to continue our relationship with Texas educators and students through the SUCCESS initiative," said Richard H. Collins, Istation's Chairman and CEO. "We are especially excited this year to be able to add our Spanish reading program for grade 3, and we are looking forward to deepening our relationships and impact in the state."

Istation was previously awarded a three-year contract with the TEA, and its program was made available via Texas SUCCESS during the 2013-2015 school years. Research conducted within the state shows that Istation improves overall reading growth: students who used Istation Reading demonstrated greater gains in overall reading ability than their peers who did not use Istation. Additionally, students who used Istation Home exhibited greater growth than students who exclusively used Istation at school.

Istation's computer-based format is interactive, engaging and fun. The comprehensive library of support materials makes every minute of teaching and learning more effective. Easy-to-use components also work together to provide every student with the individualized instruction he or she needs for continual achievement.
