Essential Education Brings MindPlay to Adult Education
CORVALLIS, Ore., September 6, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Today, Essential Education, a premier leader in innovative learning solutions for adult education, and MindPlay Education, a cutting-edge educational software for individualized learning, announced the integration of the MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach to Essential Education's learning programs. This collaboration delivers a virtual reading program to adult learners that adapts to their reading level and provides remediation and acceleration in phonics, grammar, fluency, comprehension, and phonemic awareness. While the current MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach is developed for K-12 instruction, this partnership will bring an updated version specifically created for adult learners called MindPlay Ultra.
"Essential Education is always eager to tackle the challenges in adult education. We are excited to bring the field an incredible resource with MindPlay's content and learning pathway," said Dan Griffith, President of Essential Education's Educator Division. "By integrating MindPlay directly into our platform, we are making learning easier and more robust for students while providing teachers effective tools to simplify their instruction. The better a person can read and interpret what they've read, the better their life will be on all levels. And that is, fundamentally, our mission at Essential Education."
Through Essential Education's platform, MindPlay Ultra lessons are delivered by an online reading coach, requiring minimal involvement of the teacher. This adaptive learning system tracks students' progress individually to identify exactly what they need to work on to quickly improve their reading skills. The MindPlay Ultra will be offered in addition to Essential Education's reading materials to enhance their reading comprehension and experience. Teachers will have access to the student data to bring them personalized instruction in an interactive and engaging online learning environment. The result is that each student is guided carefully through the exact pathway they need to become successful readers.
"MindPlay is honored to partner with the premier adult education provider, Essential Education. Their passion for helping adult learners reach their goals is exactly what we hoped to find in a partner," said Michael Ritchie, President of MindPlay, "With their expertise in the field and commitment to learners and educators, we believe we can significantly impact people across the world who are seeking to better themselves and provide a more stable future for their families."
