Four years ago, SBCOE brought the Footsteps2Brilliance Literacy program to the county, providing access to every child, birth to 3rd grade, who resides in San Benito county. Our goal is that every child will read at grade level by 3rd grade. Footsteps2Brilliance is used in all elementary schools in San Benito county, which allowed students to easily continue the learning they had begun in the classroom at home when schools closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March.
Footseps2Brilliance offers books, games and activities in English and Spanish for children from birth to 3rd grade. In addition, a pre-reading and Learn-to-read program called Clever University are also available along with the recently added science feature. The program can be downloaded on any electronic device and, once downloaded, no internet connection is needed.
This summer, students can join our Summer Reading Challenge June 5-August 28. To participate, students may use their current home/school account or register at https://www.myf2b.com/parent_wizard/get_started/sanbenitocoe. Once registered, simply begin reading and learning on F2B!
