  • Once the student achieves the first target skill, update the plan with a new set of goals for continued growth.
• Reinforce Skills with Digital Practice
  • Use the Reinforcement Mode to revisit previously learned skills or provide additional practice for challenging areas.
  • This mode integrates targeted practice while including related foundational skills to reinforce retention.
• Monitor and Adjust
