Premier Literacy has a comprehensive suite of digital reading, writing and studying tools that the district has subscribed to for the past few years for in-school use.  We have recently supplemented the annual Premier Literacy subscription with their ATHome program that allows access to the Literacy Tools while students are in school and at home, making Premier's literacy technology a "lifestyle tool".   Its Accessibility Suite has programs that enable computers to read a web page, email, homework or a book.  There is even a program to convert documents into audio files so you can listen to them on your MP3 player or iPod!  These tools are also great for proofreading and editing homework and have features that help you study more efficiently and effectively.  

Access is granted concurrently with the In-School Program for a one-year period enabling the district's students, parents and faculty to access literacy tools throughout the year.  Premier AT Home is hosted via Premier’s secure website that students can access from any computer.  You may go to the Premier Literacy website and download and install as many programs as you need.  Premier Literacy's limitation is that "these programs can only be installed on computers owned by the students or parents of Marblehead Public Schools students".  A unique Username and Password allow faculty, students and parents full access to Premier products.  To prevent the possibility of unauthorized use of the software, we are unable to post the login information on a public web page, but it may be obtained upon request to the Technology Department.  Please click here to log into the Premier Literacy website.
