Footsteps2Brilliance (F2B) is the Salt River Community's early literacy initiative to bring reading and writing to every child and family before kindergarten. The initiative also seeks to support reading on grade level by the third grade.
The comprehensive F2B curriculum contains over 1,000 interactive books, songs, and games that can be read in either English or Spanish. Parents who spend just 15 minutes a day using F2B with their children see immediate gains in vocabulary and critical thinking. Within 30 days, F2B users have shown measurable results in vocabulary acquisition, critical thinking, and comprehension.
The easy-to-use bilingual curriculum helps all parents prepare their children for academic success. More than 80% of parents own a smartphone today. By using the parent’s mobile technology to deliver engaging literacy apps, F2B gives busy parents anytime, any place, learning opportunities with their children, whether in a grocery store, doctor’s office, kitchen, or car.
The video above was taken during a soft launch of the F2B app during the S.T.E.P. Up Tutoring Summer Program. The kids loved using the program and parents said they enjoyed seeing their child's progress in reading and other subjects over the summer.
F2B consists of two apps (Clever Kids University & Footsteps2Brilliance) that are available for free download to smart devices. The apps can be accessed both online or offline on iOS or Android devices.
Both apps prepare children for kindergarten with weekly fun books and games in English and Spanish that can be accessed on any smartphone, tablet or computer anytime, anywhere. The comprehensive curriculum includes language and literacy, social and emotional development, mathematics development, approaches to learning, scientific reasoning, and physical and perceptual development = all of the domains for kindergarten readiness!
F2B is for Salt River Schools students in grades pre-K to third grade; it is also for families with unenrolled children birth to third grade. Creating an account is free; however, parents must enroll in the program to see student accounts and student progress with the apps.
