RIVERDEEP DESTINATION READING & MATH

Destination Reading is geared for students from K-8th grade.  The program is a research-based instructional approach that balances phonics instruction and reading-for-meaning.  It uses the richest variety of text possible, ranging from familiar stories and multicultural folktales to magazine and encyclopedia-style articles.  There is a wealth of entertaining activities, songs and word games that keep students motivated, on-task and eager to return to the program for something new each day.

Destination Math is available for students in K through Algebra.  It demystifies abstract mathematical concepts with a blend of animation, real-life scenarios, and interactive problem solving.  Each unit contains tutorials and workout problems that allow students to apply concepts and develop a deeper understanding of the material.

Make sure that your computer has the proper resources to execute the program.  Visit the Riverdeep web site located at www.riverdeep.net.  Click at the top on the button “Support”. Click on the left side of the screen on a button titled “Patches and Programs”.  Any special plug in needed to run the program is available in this area.  Shockwave and Flash are needed for the elementary curriculum. 

To access this program, visit our web site located at http://hoover.dadeschools.net.  Click on the button “Riverdeep” at the top of the page. In order to log in, your child must enter their ID number in each box. Click the “Log In” button after you enter the numbers. If they do not know their ID number, it can be found on an old report card or contact your child’s teacher.

There are two choices that will appear. The Exploration mode allows your child to use any program at any level, but it does not keep track of their progress. The Task mode has skills that are set up by the teacher and it keeps track of your child’s progress. Make sure your child selects tasks that were set up during the 2007-2008 school year.

This year all of our students in PreK-2 have access to Sammy's Science House, Bailey's Book House, Millie's Math House, and Trudy's Place.  The House Series is listed under student assignments.

It is our hope that you will encourage your child to use this program on a daily basis to provide enrichment at home.  Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
