In the Field with netTrekker d.i.: At Brighton School District #1 in Kansasville, WI, educators are using Lexile ratings to match resources to individual student's reading levels. "Our district is spending a lot of time and energy working with Lexile scores for differentiated instruction. netTrekker d.i. makes this process much easier because it allows us to search for resources by readability level and state standards, which is invaluable!"

Here are some examples of the resources available in netTrekker to help prepare your students for these types of tests.

netTrekker Updates and Enhancements Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we continue to improve netTrekker. We encourage you to continue to use the online feedback or contact us sections to share your comments or suggestions about netTrekker with us. The following change was recently made based on customer feedback. New Wikipedia School Filter In the last newsletter we announced that we had created a way for users to take Wikipedia web results out of their searches through the Refine Search option. The increasing volume of feedback we've received about this issue has taken us to the next level. Now we've added a filter at the school level.
If your school objects to Wikipedia sites, you now have the option to eliminate them from your netTrekker searches completely. If you or your school has mixed opinions, you can leave the setting on "No Filtering" and use the existing filter in the Refine Search area to eliminate Wikipedia results from specific searches.
National Poetry Month National Poetry Month is coming up in April. Use netTrekker to access lesson plans, learning exercises and additional online activities that will encourage learning about poetry as well as learning through poetry.
