Promote Reading and Brain Development

"The more parents talk with their child from birth to age three, the more likely their child will excel academically later in life."

(Hart and Risley Study)

Fitchburg Public Schools Uses Footsteps2Brilliance(F2B). Here's why:

MEASURABLE RESULTS

Within 30 days, Footsteps2Brilliance users have shown measurable results in vocabulary acquisition, critical thinking, and comprehension. A third-party study showed that students who used Footsteps2Brilliance gained 7 months of vocabulary acquisition on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test in just 1 month. That is almost an entire year’s worth of academic progress.

Only 15 minutes per day, five days per week, will allow your child to hear one million words per year.

PRESCHOOL IS DEDICATED TO INCREASING YOUR CHILD'S VOCABULARY

Everyday, teachers and school staff help your child learn new words. Teachers expose students to a wide range of vocabulary. Teachers also model how best to use Footsteps2Brilliance. This program teaches children the academic vocabulary needed to be successful in kindergarten.
