Smarty Ants
Smarty Ants is a reading program available, with limited licenses, to K-2 teachers.
Clever
Clever is an integrated program that allows for a single sign-in, tied to Active Directory, in which you will not need to remember an additional username and password.
Currently, only Springboard (sort of) and First in Math work with the Clever system. That means you won't have to remember that 00jellyfishca username again!
