Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, all educators with a Zearn School Account can give students the option to complete all K-5 digital lessons in Spanish. This release reflects one phase in Zearn’s multi-year rollout of Spanish-translated digital math content across grades K-8.
When Spanish is enabled, students can switch between Spanish and English, giving them access to rigorous, grade-level math learning in the language that best supports their understanding. This flexible design supports learning in Spanish while reinforcing academic language in English and strengthening cross-linguistic connections.
Built-in Support for English Learners
Zearn Math is designed to support all students, including those developing proficiency in English. Zearn Digital Lessons include:
- Language flexibility: When Spanish is enabled, students can switch between Spanish and English at any time.
- Scaffolds for understanding: Visual models and just-in-time feedback support math comprehension in both languages.
- Written language practice: Student notes provide opportunities for labeling, sentence completion, and written explanations in Spanish or English.
- Accessibility tools: Text-to-speech, closed captioning, and pause/replay features support understanding at a student’s own pace.
