Student experience in the fully accessible version of Imagine Language & Literacy

Students enrolled in the fully accessible version of IL&L receive rigorous instruction in the foundational curriculum areas of Literacy, Vocabulary, and Grammar. However, the content is presented in a simplified manner. Unlike in the standard version, students in the fully accessible version do not have a gamified experience, do not earn Booster Bits for completing activities, and do not take the Embedded Assessments throughout the year, even if they are your organization's chosen assessment provider. 

Instead, students work through sequential grade-level content based on their rostered grade. The first time they log in, they see the first lesson corresponding to their grade level.

Using the fully accessible version of IL&L (student instructions):

For the most part, students log in to IL&L the same way all students do; the only exception is that the Imagine Learning app cannot be used.  

1. Log in to IL&L and select the Imagine Language & Literacy tile. 

   

2. If your organization's assessment provider is Imagine+ Assessment, you will be prompted to take that assessment before beginning your IL&L lessons.
3. Unlike in the standard version of IL&L, curriculum content does not launch automatically. Instead, you are taken to a starting screen that lists upcoming lessons. It displays slightly differently depending on your rostered grade level.
   • Students rostered in Grades K–2 must click GO.
     
   • Students rostered in Grades 3–5 must click Start.
     

4. Navigation is also a bit different depending on your grade level band. Click the appropriate tab below to learn more.

   From the control bar, you can also make the video full screen and slow down the playback speed.

   For items that require an answer, the question and the answer choices will automatically be read out loud to you. Select an answer and click GO. If you are in an Instruction and Practice activity (not a Mastery Check), feedback automatically appears. To hear the feedback read out loud, click the play button (the triangle). Click GO again after reviewing the feedback. 
   
   When you get an answer wrong, you may have the option to try it again. If so, click the TRY AGAIN button.
