Our videos engage students, instructional tools let them master content, and now Lyric Lab places writing and creativity at their fingertips. Students can demonstrate content mastery not just through Read & Respond or an assigned quiz, but by applying their knowledge through writing, too.
The Flocabulary team has been working diligently over the past year to bring exciting and practical new features to classrooms this fall. To familiarize you with our shiny new Flocab, we’re sharing the low-down on each of our new features on the blog.
To start, let’s review our new reading feature, Read & Respond. This new addition empowers students to develop close reading and content area literacy skills in select Flocabulary units, and we’re pretty pumped to share it with you.
To keep the learning experience streamlined, students answer questions right within the Flocabulary unit.
Here’s a glimpse of how Read & Respond works:
We had an amazing time at the ISTE conference in Denver this year! From previewing new features to epic educator rap battles and mini PD sessions on writing academic rhymes, there was tons to see and enjoy at Booth 920. Thanks to everyone who helped make it awesome.
Did you miss out on some of our sessions at the booth? Or, maybe you weren’t able to swing by our rap battle or live performances due to a crazy schedule? Perhaps you were among the #NotAtISTE16 group?
However you enjoyed ISTE, we’ve compiled some of our favorite videos, photos and tweets from the conference to share so you can catch up on all the Flocab happenings. Read on!

You asked, we listened! Flocabulary now aligns with all state standards.
Many educators have shared a need to see how our content aligns with their state’s specific standards. How will your favorite Flocabulary unit help your students with standardized tests? Need specifics on standards alignment to share with your district administrators? With Flocabulary’s new standards alignment search tool, teachers and administrators can easily view this information with a few clicks on our user-friendly site.
Ready to see it for yourself? Access the standards search tool here. Please note that, by default, this link takes you directly to the “All Standards” tab. For specifics on ELA CCSS and Math CCSS, click on the tabs to the right.
We’re excited to announce a new teaching tool, Discuss Mode, which launched with our April 15 Week in Rap video last Friday.
