What do you like best about Imagine Language & Literacy?

It's more entertaining than a test and the voice acting and animation isn't as bad as other sites. I'm only filling this part because it's forcing me to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagine Language & Literacy?

There isn't a skip button for the voice to shut up and skip to the question. Students hate waiting 30 seconds every time they press a button to move on. Also, sometimes the vote isn't helpful, and the students feel exasperated by the constant blabbering because they already know what to do most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagine Language & Literacy solving and how is that benefiting you?

It doesn't help me that much because a lot of the times nobody cares what this word means because this is probably the only time they will use it in their life. It is also useless for anyone who can already read and write english, so they should probably add better tests so Students can actually learn something instead of looking at already-known words.

What do you like best about Imagine Language & Literacy?

While I was teaching kindergarten and first grade in Las Vegas, over 50% of my students were English Language Learners. These students were assigned to use Imagine Learning on the computer everyday for 30 minutes each. My students were excited to use this program everyday and the ones who didn’t need it were jealous that they didn’t get to join the fun! I noticed a dramatic increase in these students’ understanding and use of English. The login for the students is also nice because instead of having these young students having to type in some random password, they were able to click on a series of pictures to login. As a teacher it was also nice to be able to view data such as a student’s progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagine Language & Literacy?

I did not like how long the picture logins had to be. If the student forgot their password, it was quite a pain to get back in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Imagine Language & Literacy:

If you could have a student try it out for a month, I believe you could see in this short time why the program has been excelling . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagine Language & Literacy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Imagine Learning shortens the language barrier for ELL students by helping them learn English in a fun way and at their own pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Imagine Language & Literacy?

I love how interactive and customizable it is. It evaluates the students to determine their level, and presents activities for them that are suited for their language proficiency level. The children all love the program, and for us it is a good supplement in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagine Language & Literacy?

Previously, when the program was software based, we would have a lot of connectivity problems in part because of the internet connection in our school building. That has since been rectified now that our internet is improved and the program is web based.

We have had an overhaul to the system recently though and had to create new passwords for all of the students which was kind of a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagine Language & Literacy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many times the teachers of English Language Learners are at a bit of a loss with beginner and intermediate students because their language proficiency level and understanding sometimes limits them from fully participating in class. Imagine Learning serves as a productive supplement to the classroom instruction for ELLs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Imagine Language & Literacy?

1. Simplicity of user

2. Great tool to teach kids of varying age with visual aids and interactive learning.

3. Kids can choose modules depending on their level of understanding and aptitude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagine Language & Literacy?

1. Requires continuous internet connection, which means if there is a glitch in that, the tool would stop working.

2. I also feel, gluing kids to computer and technology, although is a good way of learning, teaching them the old fashion way is also necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Imagine Language & Literacy:

Great too for kids to learn interactively and using visual aids Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagine Language & Literacy solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Imagine Language & Literacy?

It does adapt to student needs. Kids like to see what other kids are doing, so there's an unofficial added incentive to it. There are different reports to look at to analyze data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Imagine Language & Literacy?

I want to like this program, but it feels like just plugging kids in. It's easy to become over reliant on it as a student, teacher, district, etc. The kids love being encouraged to work on the computers and do love the variety. I just had a hard time establishing so much screentime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Imagine Language & Literacy solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the struggling district where I worked, this helped get low ability students more involved. They had a high buy-in to the product. It also helped students get used to electronic testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
