Intro to Literably

Empower educators to hear & help their readers like never before.

Need Better Reading Data on Your Students?

assessment is orally assessed

What challenges can we help you with?

Inconsistent or inaccurate:

Staff don’t trust their literacy data because of how it’s collected or graded

Inefficient or time consuming:

Staff take too long to collect high-quality literacy data

Inaccessible or unactionable:

Staff can’t easily find or use their literacy data to drive student growth

​

Why Literably?

Literably exists to preserve what schools & districts like about reading assessments, while addressing the major challenges that are on literacy leaders’ minds, such as:

• Worrying about the time required for teachers to administer reading assessments.
• Concerned about inconsistent scoring and accuracy within cohorts, classrooms, and schools.
• Hoping to make data actionable for teachers, school leaders, and district staff.
• Eager to strengthen the assessment & instruction of important foundation literacy skills, they are often best assessed orally.
• Under pressure to adopt a school or district-wide reading assessment solution that is easy to use and based on the Science of Reading
• Wishing their reading assessments were better aligned to their reading curriculum.

How does Literably help?

Literably helps address the challenges on the previous slide in various ways:

1. Literably is student- and teacher-friendly, providing audio recordings, transcribed student responses, and detailed reports returned within 24 hours.
2. Literably uses certified graders (and limited amount of speech recognition software) to ensure consistency and accuracy.
3. Literably provides detailed and actionable data insights quickly.
4. Literably enables teachers to collect literacy data for oral reading fluency, phonics, phonological awareness, rapid naming, spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension.
5. Literably is a comprehensive, online reading assessment based in the Science of Reading.
6. Literably is curriculum-aligned.

In short, how does Literably work?

• The student reads (often aloud) and answers questions, and the assessments are scored by Literably-certified graders (and some limited speech recognition software) within 24 hrs.
• Teachers have the flexibility to best allocate their time - observing assessments, conferencing with students, or teaching.

The teacher logs into their dashboard and clicks the pencil icon

Note: schools and district can choose to use A-Z reading levels instead of grade-levels, if they prefer.

The teacher assigns a pre-made or custom assessment

Pre-Made Assessment

Custom Assessment

The student reads (often aloud)

Then answers questions

​

The teacher then gets a class view

for each assessment type

The teacher also gets access to students’ graded assessments &

their assessment history over time

Do teachers still observe?

Yes, teachers observe students every day. Districts and schools choose Literably because they want:

• Efficiency to maximize limited instructional time.
• Consistency to ensure accurate info for all students.
• Accessibility to put more emphasis on using data.

What do customers say?

• It’s Efficient: Regain 40+ hours of reading instruction.
• It’s Consistent: Get accurate information for all students.
• It’s Accessible and Actionable: Everyone can see and use the data.

It’s Efficient

Re-gain 40 hours of lost reading instruction.

“Instruction never stops. Instead of giving assessments, teachers are looking at data, diagnosing issues, and targeting interventions to meet specific needs. It’s the best purchase we’ve made.”

​

Note: In 3 years, this school doubled on-level reading (from 45% to 88%).

​

It’s Consistent

Get accurate information for all students.

“Unlike hand-scored assessments, Literably shows us what students can do on their own, and that gives us a sense of urgency. We’ve made adjustments, and we’ve seen tremendous growth!”

It’s Accessible and Actionable

Everyone can see and use the data.

“Literably gives us a deeper understanding than we got from hand-scored assessments. We can pinpoint the literacy skills that we need to build, group students and target those skills. It’s wonderful!”
