Community reviews for Freckle

I am a huge fan of Front Row. It helps me meet the diverse needs of my students. The kids are engaged and are able to learn at their own individual level.

Very easy to use, and the students love it.

This product is amazing! The pre assessment is brilliant because the results place the student at the level that will best support their needs. I personally feel such a program is more natural to the 21st century student then paper/pencil. Many of my students arrive in the morning beaming about being on frontrow ed.com the night before! They love it!! How wonderful to hook students into having fun while they learn!

I love Front Row. I wish I could get other teachers in my building on board so that we could get the paid version. The program sets limits in the free version, specifically assignments. I wish I could have access to more of those. I'd like to use other areas in Front Row, like Social Studies. I can only have a few assignments going at a time. The biggest plus of the program is that kids LOVE it!! They ask to do it for homework!

I use this in a variety of ways. Some of my struggling students are still learning sounds and word-attack strategies. Other learners in my room are at a 4th grade reading level. I am able to challenge and encourage each group of students to grow in their reading strategies. Additionally, I have a diverse group of children who have various math skills. Some of my students are at a 1.2. One learner understands 6th grade math concepts. Each child can continue to grow and develop using this platform. I use this in class and the children use it at home as well. This helps my second grade students prepare for SBAC testing. Many drag-and-drop features and multi-answer questions prepare the children for similar answer/response opportunities they will see in SBAC.

The company is very open to feedback from teachers. They have made several improvements that help teachers and students be more efficient and effective in their learning and teaching. The domains are a great way to break skills into smaller tasks and build their foundational skills. The students can go at their own pace so they feel more engaged in their learning. There are opportunities for students to work together with the Inquiry Based Learning lessons. The program encourages students to ask a classmate for help, too. Thanks Front Row!

I love Front Row. My students can work at their own pace and they are motivated to stay on task. They cheer when I tell them that we will be working on Front Row. Students love earning coins and competing against the other teams. They know that they have to complete any assignments before working on what they choose. While students are engaged with this program, I am free to get individualized testing done or meet with struggling students. If we aren't going to be in the lab, I love that we can use the app or I can print out individualized math practice. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a way to engage their students productively and quickly/easily differentiate to meet all of their needs.

This is a great site. I have recommended it to other teachers who have found it very beneficial. I liked how the content the students were learning went along with what I was teaching. I was able to assign assignments to better meet the needs of the students. This could be used for whole class, small group, or individual instruction.

I would highly recommend this product. It is closely aligned with Common Core and asks good questions. The question/answer format is also very similar to the PARCC test.

The free resources in Front Row are enough to give data on your students current levels. Teachers will need to collect data weekly and store in a word document to see growth if only accessing free site. The level of differentiation that can be acheived in your classroom using the free site is as good as websites that cost $100 per student! The only downfall is the lack of spiral review and assessment to see if student retains the skills learned.
