What an exciting month it's been! We’ve changed our name from Front Row Education to Freckle Education, and we hope the new name will serve as a reminder to our community that every student is a unique individual. To help you reach each of your students at their unique level, we've made several product improvements in the month of April. Take a look!
Comprehension questions for Decodables
K-2 students will now get to answer two short, level-appropriate questions after they finish reading a Decodable. All questions and answers have an audio play-along option to guide students along and reinforce word patterns.
Financial Literacy videos
Our Financial Literacy curriculum now includes instructional videos to help introduce concepts to your class. You can find these videos in the Standards (or Topics) pages for Financial Literacy.
