Big News! Mathseeds and Reading Eggs Meet ESSA Rating Evidence Standards

ABC Mathseeds and ABC Reading Eggs’ ESSA Certification

We’re thrilled to announce that our multi award-winning math program, Mathseeds has earned the Level II evidence certification under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

Our acclaimed reading program, Reading Eggs, has also been accredited for meeting Level III evidence requirements in compliance with the ESSA outcomes.

ESSA's Tiers of Evidence serve as a powerful framework, helping schools and districts identify high quality programs that boost student outcomes.

Mathseeds and Reading Eggs partnered with LearnPlatform to analyze the efficacy of both programs.

The study gathered data from thousands of students to examine the relationship between program usage and students’ achievement (NWEA MAP® scaled reading and mathematics scores).

Mathseeds’ proven effectiveness

Students who used Mathseeds showed higher math achievement.

It was found that K–2 students who had high usage in Mathseeds had higher end-of-year NWEA MAP® achievement compared to students who had low use of the program.

Furthermore, Grade 1 students who completed more Mathseeds lessons had statistically significantly higher end-of-year math achievement.

In addition, Grade 3 students who used Mathseeds had slightly higher mathematics scores on NWEA MAP® at the end of the year than students who did not use the program.

A total of 764 K–2 students, and 705 Grade 3 students from ten elementary schools in one district participated in this study.

While the K–2 sample comprised mostly of Mathseeds users, the Grade 3 sample had 100 students who did not use the program.

Mathseeds is a great tool in my classroom. It engages my students with intellectual disabilities and ASD. The short videos, variety of activities and catchy songs suit my students' abilities. I am able to keep track of student progress using reports and quizzes which then inform my planning and teaching. Kait Hawksford, Teacher

Reading Eggs’ proven effectiveness

Students who used Reading Eggs also showed higher reading achievement.

The findings showed that those with higher Reading Eggs usage outperformed their peers who had low or moderate use.

Students who completed 51–121 total Reading Eggs lessons had higher end-of-year NWEA MAP® reading achievement compared to peers who completed 0–50 lessons.

Even Kindergarten and Grade 1 students who completed more lessons achieved statistically significant higher reading accomplishments.

The study sample comprised of 1,756 K–2 students from ten elementary schools in one district.

I highly recommend Reading Eggs to be incorporated into your lessons. It provides appropriate activities, demonstrates students’ progress and data, whilst also providing teacher toolkits to incorporate in the classroom. The kids absolutely love it! Maddison, Teacher

I have observed, after 32 years of teaching, that this program [Reading Eggs] definitely brings progress to all readers. My students enjoy the games, reading the stories, and completing assignments at home! Stacy Desormeaux, Teacher
