Happy Number is a website that is being offered free until 6/30/2020 for teachers. You can create portfolios for the children where they go onto their profiles, enter passwords (that you are given to send to the parents) and complete activities electronically. You as the teacher can see the progress of the children. For example: Sue has completed the weekly target of 45 minutes (this amount of time can be changed to more or less time depending how the children are doing).
The progress report tab shows you what activities the children have completed and you can even get into as much detail as how long it took to complete each module or the accuracy rate to see where they might be struggling more and need extra support.
This website is great to send to the parents so they can have that time, if they need it, to complete work they are doing at home for their jobs. I also believe its a good way to demonstrate who is following directions as well because it speaks to the children.
Lastly you can see which parents are actively involved in their children progressing because you can see who has logged on and completed activities and who hasn't =/
