Bilingual children take the BLAST app on their own in one sitting

BLAST is a bilingual app that helps educators make more informed placement decisions, monitor progress, and create personalized instruction.

Vincent is bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish

25% of school-age children in the U.S. speak Spanish at home.

Chloe and her teacher talk about her assessment results

How It Works
