OVERVIEW
Developing strong literacy skills at an early age helps students reach their full potential and generates long-term benefits like lower risk of grade retention, increased graduation rates, and improved earning power later in life.

You can request the course on your EVERFI dashboard.
With WORD Force, you’ll energize independent practice time. Throughout the program’s 15 games, your students will enjoy a silly “save-the-world” storyline while receiving consistent, timely feedback on their budding early literacy skills.
