Frequently Asked Questions

Which students can use Medley?

Medley supports reading and writing for students in upper elementary grades through high school.  It can be used for students at all levels of English proficiency.

What does it cost?

Each student user requires a student license and an initial set up and training fee. We have a minimum per school and offer volume discounts. Please contact us for pricing details.

How does this support HQIM?

Because Medley wraps around existing content, it preserves grade level content and high quality instructional materials.  We are deeply committed to multilingual learners accessing the same quality materials as their native English speaking peers, and are engaging classroom teachers who use Medley with HQIM to continue to build supports tailored to specific HQIM.

What languages does this support?

We haven’t yet found a language that we can’t support!  There are a handful of languages which don’t yet have audio/read-alouds, but all have written support.

How do teachers use Medley?

Teachers engage with Medley in two ways. First, they control how Medley supports their students--what default settings are turned on and what tools are used when. Second, teachers have access to a web app where they can scaffold content themselves, for instance for materials which will be printed and handed out to students.

How do you protect student privacy?

Student data privacy and student safety are our highest priorities. We employ industry-leading safeguards on both measures. Medley does not provide students access to an open-ended AI chat.

How do you assess student English proficiency?

Medley can align to WIDA, ELPA21, TELPAS, ELPAC or however your state or district approaches measuring English proficiency.  Teachers can also manually enter the level of scaffolding they want for students, recognizing that students often progress between annual tests.
