Features new to Earobics 2014 include:

  • New phonics and vocabulary software, games, and characters;
  • Instructions in 11 different languages for English language learners;
  • New assessment tools, both diagnostic and prescriptive, and real time reporting customized to the Common Core;
  • Online and updated teacher's guides; and
  • The ability to search games and assessment tools by Common Core State Standards.

HMH will be demonstrating Earobics June 23-26 at the International Society for Technology in Education Annual Conference in San Antonio at booth 11099.
