New Questions To Answer and New Skills to Develop

We’ve been hard at work making sure that your child will learn every single English skill that they need to succeed.  

Our new updates significantly expand the topics your child will learn inside Prodigy. The new content focuses on enhancing your child's reading, language, and writing skills. 

Since our launch in March 2022, the amount of skills covered on Prodigy has grown by almost 40%. 

What does this mean for your child? Thousands of new questions for your child to answer and learn from. 

And we’re not done yet. We know that education is ever-evolving. So we’ll continue to be hard at work behind the scenes making Prodigy English your one-stop-shop for English learning. 

From new reading and phonics skills to a broader range of writing exercises, we’re ensuring that our content is always growing. You can rest assured that it meets educational standards and offers an engaging learning experience for your child.

A Village Revamp

We’re also excited to announce a major update to the village map inside Prodigy. We know that this is a big change but we really believe it will greatly enhance the learning experience for your child. 

As of September 26th, your child’s map will be covered in a mysterious fog. The new map will start a fresh storyline. It will feature new stores to explore and new neighbors to meet.

Your child will need to answer questions to unlock the covered spaces on the map. This change will prevent your child from becoming overwhelmed by a large map to explore and instead help them focus on answering educational questions. 

You’ll also notice that all of your child’s existing items will move into storage, and their gold coins will be reset. While some children may be surprised by this, we want to assure you that this update is designed to make the game more structured and educational. Future gold will be earned by answering questions and completing educational tasks. 

This update will affect all players in the same way and aims to make every minute that a child spends on Prodigy one in which they’re learning.

Introducing the Google Classroom Add-on

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Google Classroom Add-on. It's designed to streamline your workflow and enhance your experience with Prodigy. 

With this new feature, you can now assign content directly from Google Classroom, making it easier than ever to integrate Prodigy into your lessons. 

To get started, simply click here to install the add-on today. 

Please note that a 'Google Workspace for Education' license is required to use this feature.

Easily Navigate Between Subjects in the Dashboard

Switching between subjects can now be done with just a few clicks!

Our updated dashboard now allows you to seamlessly navigate between Prodigy Math and Prodigy English. This will make it simpler than ever to manage your classes and track student progress across different subjects.

Streamlined Reports for Better Insights

We’ve made significant improvements to our reports to better serve you. 

Our streamlined reporting system now provides more accessible and detailed insights. It will help you monitor your students’ progress and tailor your teaching strategies more effectively.

Enhanced Single Sign-On (SSO) Features

We've been offering Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality to make logging in easy and secure, but it's getting a face-lift. 

You can now use SSO to add students from Google, Clever, and ClassLink. This makes the setup process smooth and easy.

Clever Integration Updates

While Clever SSO and teacher-level rostering have been available for some time, we've added the ability for districts to automatically roster all teachers and students. 

If your district chooses to do this, it would mean that your classroom could be set up and ready to go the first time you log in—a huge time-saver!

Coming Soon: ClassLink Integration Enhancements

If your school uses ClassLink instead of Clever, these updates are coming to you next.

Currently, we offer SSO functionality with ClassLink, and soon, we’ll be rolling out district-wide rostering for all teachers and students using ClassLink. 

This feature is expected to launch this fall. Stay tuned for more details on this update and how it could simplify your classroom setup!

Updated ELA Content for Prodigy English

We’re on a mission to align Prodigy English as closely as possible to your lesson plans. 

Since our commercial launch, we’ve been working hard to expand our content. We've been filling in gaps and adding new concepts to make Prodigy a more comprehensive tool for you and your students.

If you’re one of the teachers who tried Prodigy English early on, you might have noticed some areas that needed more content.

We’ve listened to your feedback and been hard at work adding new skills.

Since March 2022, we’ve increased our unique skills from 282 to 395, and we’re not slowing down. Every quarter we add new questions for your students to learn from. These new skills range from reading skills to writing skills to phonic skills. 

We’ve also added skills with selectable answers and images. This move away from basic multiple-choice questions allows for more variability and the ability to support diverse learning needs in your classroom.
