SUNNYVALE, Calif. (August 4, 2020)  Square Panda, creators of an award-winning multisensory literacy platform for students in grades PreK–1, is giving schools five free Home Edition Playsets for every School Edition Playset they purchase with a Square Panda Literacy System site license through October 30, 2020.

As a result of school closures caused by COVID-19, educators will see even greater gaps in student achievement than in typical years, according to research from the NWEA. For students in PreK and early elementary grades, those gaps have the potential to impede student learning for years to come, as literacy is the foundation of all later learning and there are more skills critical to literacy mastery in those first years than in any others. At the same time, these younger students require the most support within a distance learning environment.

To support emerging readers at home, every school that purchases a site license will receive five times more playsets designed to provide extra learning at home or as a flexible support for distance learning, blended learning, or any of the myriad ways schools will reopen for the year. Each school is eligible for up to 1,000 free playsets. Targeted to students in grades PreK-1 and focused on important early phonics lessons, Square Panda allows children to work independently, while teachers can monitor progress from a distance, making it a perfect tool to support students whether they’re attending classes in person, online, or if they just need additional support.
