RM Sonica ESL To Be Implemented District-Wide In Highlands County, Florida


RM is pleased that Highlands County Schools has chosen RM Education’s English Language Learning software, RM Sonica ESL, as an innovative addition to their current English for Speakers of Other Languages curriculum. Highlands County Schools services over 11,000 students in 16 schools with a staff of over 750 dedicated educators.

RM Sonica ESL is an extremely interactive and engaging program, designed to encourage students to develop a love of English language learning at an early age. RM Sonica ESL takes into account multiple learning styles helping to build the confidence of every student and pushes the boundaries of kinesthetic learning. Instantly engage even the most reticent of learners with interactive games and even dance mat activities. Students can practice listening and responding with interactive presentations while identifying and learning with the RM Sonica ESL family who are used throughout the program.

Highlands also opted to implement within a number of schools in the district RM Podium, software designed to produce podcasts strictly for K-12 education. Easy to use, RM Podium is designed to allow even the youngest of students to be up and running producing and publishing podcasts in minutes. Among the many uses of podcasting in education, Highlands County Schools also recognized the value of this fast growing medium for use in their ESOL program and its objectives.
