Optimized Intervention® Delivers Individualized Instruction & Ensures Success!
LanguageLinks and Prepositions! feature Optimized Intervention technology, a powerful, innovative system that tailors instructional delivery to each student’s unique needs. The programs begin with an assessment to determine where to start training. Then during training the software continually tracks detailed information about a student’s performance, adjusts the instructional support as needed, and automatically guides the student through the curriculum.

The reinforcement animations in these programs are not only entertaining, but also include enriched language which has been shown to facilitate language development. The programs also feature extensive data collection, so at the end of each lesson you’ll be able to quickly review your students’ performance, document progress, and print comprehensive reports to ensure accountability.

Independent Language Learning
LanguageLinks and Prepositions! are designed to be used independently, so students can benefit from language instruction in their own classrooms five days a week. Your students will not only meet their language goals more quickly, they will become self-directed language learners and better communicators.
