MobyMax

MobyMax is an online program designed for K-8 schools to offer differentiated learning and fill gaps in student knowledge. It provides beginning literacy instruction for Pre-Beginning and Beginning ESL learners.

Key Information

As of July 5, 2025, learners using state-supported MobyMax accounts will only be able to earn distance learning proxy hours if a student license is assigned to them. Only designated MobyMax site administrators (1-2 staff members per program/site) may assign licenses to learners. If you are a MobyMax site administrator, you must view this training and complete the quiz.
Prerequisites: Appropriate for all levels of ESL literacy. The curriculum ends with 8th grade content, so it would not be appropriate for GED preparation or adult diploma programs. It may be appropriate for basic skills/pre-GED learners. See the comparison of MobyMax and Ellii in the Resources section below.
Web-based: Yes.
Available on tablets/smart phones: Yes (not as a separate app, but the website is mobile-friendly.)
