Summer Work

IXL is a comprehensive math and English review site with an unlimited number of math/grammar practice questions in hundreds of skills. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so you have a chance to see your child's progress!

To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:

1.Go to www.IXL.com/signin/calverton
(If you just go to ixl.com, then you must type the “@calverton” after your username).

2.Enter your child's username and password and click Sign in.
(Note: If your child was at Calverton for previously, they will use the same username and password.)

Username: first initial last name (example: Joe Smith is jsmith)
Password: calverton

Select a specific skill to practice from the list of skills. You can place your mouse over any skill to see a sample question and click on the link to begin.

Click on the Awards tab. Each grade level presents challenges for your child to conquer and virtual prizes to be uncovered. Place your mouse over any challenge to begin.

In addition to making math/grammar practice exciting, IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The website is adaptive and will adjust to your child's demonstrated ability level. The site also saves all of your child's results, so you can monitor your child's progress anytime by clicking on the Reports tab.

I hope you'll encourage your son or daughter to use IXL daily. Here's to a year of working together to make math fun for your child!

If you have any questions and/or concerns regarding IXL, please contact Dawn Rhoads at drhoads@calvertonschool.org.
