PITTSBURGH, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MobyMax, the most widely adopted differentiated learning solution in the US., has just released MobyMax for Families, a new version of MobyMax specifically designed to help parents homeschooling or tutoring their kids keep students on track academically. MobyMax Families arrives as parents face the stark realization recently confirmed by a recent NWEA research brief: that students whose school year was cut short may start the 2020-2021 school year with only 50% to 70% of the learning gains they typically earn during a school year.
"We need to limit the toll that the COVID-19 is taking on our children's education," said MobyMax co-founder Glynn Willett. "MobyMax Families was created for parents who want to stop COVID slide in its tracks."
The new Families version, which features a special Family sign-in experience is accompanied by a family-specific subscription option. The Family subscription offers the same award-winning program used by more than 1.5 million teachers to help K-8 students close learning gaps and quickly catch up to grade level. Parents can try the program for free for 30 days, after which the subscription starts at just $7.95/month. The family subscription includes:
- 1. Differentiated learning in all K-8 subjects: Math, Early Reading, Reading, Language, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. Parents can assign specific lessons or let MobyMax fill in skills gaps automatically.
- 2. Quick Checker Diagnostics featuring adaptive placement tests, grade-level benchmarkers, and skills diagnostics check for understanding and clearly map student progress. Parents can then remediate their children's learning gaps with Moby's curriculum.
- 3. Built-in student motivation tools to keep kids engaged and motivated, like certificates, badges, games, and game time.
- 4. Detailed reporting in real-time. Parents can keep an eye on their children's progress with precise, customizable reporting.
This powerful combination of features has been proven to fix skill gaps and catch students up to grade level. "Though many students risk entering school in September with a 30-50% learning deficit, children who use MobyMax could actually increase one full grade level in just 20 hours of use," says Willett
In addition to its highly effective tech solutions, MobyMax provides free live training webinars to help parents gain confidence in using Moby's tech tools. Webinars ranging from "Getting Started in Moby," to "MobyMax for Special Education" help teachers and parents prevent "summer slide" and understand how and when to use specific subject modules. A specific "Moby for Parents" webinar trains parents in using key features like progress monitoring, lesson assignment, and customization.
MobyMax is the most awarded educational technology solutions provider in the U.S. In addition to its numerous accolades for its effectiveness in schools, the program has long been lauded by the homeschooling community. In 2018, MobyMax received Homeschool Base's award for "Top 10 Educational Websites for Multiple Subjects." Homeschool Base is the Internet's largest volunteer-driven homeschooling website. In 2019, MobyMax received the National Parenting Product Award for creating the best educational tools and best resources for learning differences in the industry.
And since the release of MobyMax Families, MobyMax has seen an increase in positive feedback from parents. Cindy B., a homeschooling parent in Arizona, says, "I have recommended {MobyMax} to my friends and family. I believe this is the time we need it most. When the kids are not in school, MobyMax is here to help. Thank you!"
Said another, "This is such a valuable tool…I love knowing that my students are still actively learning through this difficult time! …It is great how each lesson is broken up with a little learning and then a check for understanding before moving on…This is a highly effective teaching tool!"
