In the classroom
See the class, group by skill, assign
Where each student is, who needs the same next skill, and what to read next.
Class overview
Students × skills with symbols, not just color. Reading days, plan completion and flags like “needs a fluency check”.
Groups by skill
Three to five groups proposed from the next unmastered skill, each with a 15-minute routine and a decodable.
Assignments with pacing
Lessons, book sets, generated decodables by sound, or a writing task. Differentiate by group, lock to class pace.
Oral reading you can hear
Weekly probes for Tier 2 and 3, a trend line with an aim line, and the recording behind every number.
MTSS view
Tier 1 whole-class in projector mode, Tier 2 small groups 3× a week, Tier 3 daily. Teachers move students; we only suggest.
Reports and exports
Class, student and standards reports; CSV, PDF, OneRoster gradebook, LTI 1.3 and Google Classroom passback.

Questions
Questions schools ask
What does it cost?
A Classroom plan is $24.90 a teacher a month or $249 a year, after a 28-day classroom trial. A school is $14 a student a year with a $3,500 minimum; districts pay $12 a student from 1,000 students and $10 from 10,000. Assessment is $4 a student more. Multi-year terms save 10% (3 years) or 15% (5 years). High-need schools save up to 30%. There is no free plan.
Do parents need to consent?
For classroom use, the school can give consent in place of parents under COPPA, as the law allows. We give you the notice text for parents. If a parent objects, the school removes the child and we delete their data.
Can families use it at home too?
Yes. A family can link a home account to the student’s class record so the sequence stays in step. The home account belongs to the family, and the school never sees books read only at home.
What devices?
Any modern browser on Chromebooks, laptops and tablets, plus an app for iPad. The teacher trusts each class device once, then students sign in with pictures or a badge.
Is it a core curriculum?
No. It’s daily independent reading and writing practice that follows the order most structured-literacy programs teach in. It’s built to sit alongside your core and intervention programs.
How does it fit with screeners?
We count oral reading fluency as words correct per minute against published norms, the same measure your screener uses, so you can read the two together. We say plainly that ours is a check-in, not a diagnosis.
