Tips for At Home Use

DreamBox Tips for Home Usage

  1. Allow for 15 to 20 minute sessions a few times throughout the week. Set a goal of completing 1 lesson per day.

  2. Encourage completion of every lesson that is started. Mistakes are OK and expected! Your child should not shy away from incorrect answers, as they help find the right lesson to build learning progress.

  3. We know it's difficult, but please resist the urge to help with answers so that your child doesn't move ahead before they are truly ready. This will maintain the integrity of the personalization that the program provides.

  4. Note: It will be important for your child to LOGOUT of Clever, DreamBox, and their internet browser if the device is shared with another child.

Possible Questions to Ask Your Student While They Play & Learn!

1. Have you clicked the help or hint button? What did it say?

2. What do you think you are supposed to do here?

3. Show me what you’re doing that isn’t working.

4. What have you tried already?

5. Have you learned something in other DreamBox lessons that could help here? Tell me about it

If you have asked these and nothing has helped, it might be time for a break.

Click either the Pause or the X to make sure lesson progress is saved!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it asking for a "school code"?

Students should always access Dreambox via the Clever app. A prompt for a school code mostly likely means you have tried to enter via the Dreambox app or website. Please enter Clever and select the Dreambox tile to access your child's account.

We lost the sound or audio on Dreambox. Now what?

We logged into Clever but it says "Safari cannot open..."

This may indicated that the device does not have Dreambox installed. Please try to "reset the iPAD" first. Then if you are still experiencing issues please submit a tech help request at student_techsupport@4j.lane.edu.
