Help with DreamBox at Home
Families are encouraged to use the following guidelines to support student work with DreamBox at home:
- Plan sessions for your child a minimum of 20 – 30 minutes daily for each content.
- Encourage your child to complete lessons even if they seem too easy or difficult. If lessons are not completed, then the software will not recognize the need to adjust the difficulty of the lessons.
- Explain or restate the directions for lessons when needed but resist the temptation to help with the answers or your child may move ahead without being truly ready. Children can press the Help button once to have the directions repeated and press the Help button twice to receive more detailed assistance.
- Encourage your child’s use of the virtual manipulatives within the program only. Children should not use paper and pencils, calculators, or other materials when completing DreamBox lessons.
