A proven multisensory tool that teaches and assesses phonemic awareness and phonics skills

PreK- Grade 2

The LeapDesk workstation is a teaching and assessment tool. It delivers explicit instruction in letter recognition, phonics and more — and then provides immediate corrective feedback. While students can see and feel the shapes of letters, hear the letter names and sounds in the context of specific words, teachers can assess student progress and print out reports. Spanish Version Available!

The LeapDesk workstation:

  • Delivers explicit instruction in letter recognition, phonics, phonemic awareness, and concept of word
  • Motivates students with interactive audio feedback that is immediate and constructive
  • Encourages self-paced learning so students practice the skills they need most
  • Provides clear, consistent and proper human sounds using advanced voice chip technology

The LeapDesk workstation can be used as:

  1. A teaching tool: Students are engaged through touch, sight, and sound as they learn letter names, letter sounds, sight words, and simple decodable words
  2. An assessment tool: Teachers can assess students on letter-name recognition, letter-sound association, and phonological awareness and print reports showing student and class performance
  3. An adaptive teaching tool: Data gathered in the assessments is used to create personalized lessons for students based on their individual skill level and specific needs

The LeapDesk Workstation: A powerful assessment tool.  Assess students easily, accurately, and frequently.

The LeapDesk workstation’s built-in assessment feature enables teachers to quickly and easily assess up to 40 students—eight times a year! This enables teachers to easily pinpoint areas for improvement and continuously track every child’s progress in learning letter names, letter sounds, and phonological awareness.
