Ms. Haley Crellin is our Spanish language instructor using the Rosetta Stone program.

Putnam County R1 schools are pleased to announce that we have selected Rosetta Stone as our new online language learning solution. Multilingual skills are a critical success factor in our global economy, and Putnam County R1 Schools would like to provide our students the language skills they need to be effective and successful in today’s market. Rosetta Stone’s interactive and award-winning software creates an intuitive and engaging environment for thinking and communicating in a new language.

 

Designed specifically for education, Rosetta Stone will give our instructors the power to see real-time results and track student progress easily and conveniently. A customizable curriculum allows instructors to design plans for students at different levels and with different language learning goals.

 

Spanish offered in High School. French offered in Middle School.

 

The Rosetta Stone program launched on August 15th at Putnam County High School, with 34 students enrolled in Spanish in the high school and several enrolled in French in the middle school. Spanish language students are already speaking in simple sentences after the first week of classes. Enrolled students will receive an email with Putnam Co R1 Schools site, a username and a password. Students will have access to the following:

  • Language Training: Reading, writing, speaking and listening skills are introduced in core lessons, then key skills, such as grammar and vocabulary, are refined in focused activities. Speech recognition technology evaluates the pronunciation of each word and sentence, providing immediate feedback.

  • Games & Activities: Interactive games sharpen language skills and stories provide students opportunities to read long passages aloud. Games & Activities reinforces language learned in Language Training and builds students' confidence. 

  • Rosetta Stone Language Training for Apple and Android: Students will be able to continue their language training via our mobile app. Progress made in this application syncs with progress in the program, and vice versa. Note: The Rosetta Stone Language Training mobile app is available for select languages.
