Lalilo https://lalilo.com is an innovative, visually engaging, standards-aligned literacy software program for K-2 students, parents, and teachers. The program supports literacy learning and instruction through interactive and developmentally appropriate exercises for students and extensive data tracking and planning tools for teachers. It supports learning and instruction across all components of literacy, including phonological and phonemic awareness, letter and word recognition, comprehension and fluency, vocabulary, writing, and social literacy.
In the free version of Lalilo, students work on phonics, sight words, word families, reading comprehension and grammar lessons. In the student platform, children “travel” through a world of individualized, self-paced exercises. There is a sequence of lessons and content levels to ensure that students are working on developmentally appropriate exercises, individual needs, and grade level literacy standards. Students receive both positive and constructive feedback, while ensuring they are working on skills that are not too easy or too hard. It can show parents and teachers their areas of strength and growth, while suggesting lesson ideas and offline activities to reinforce skills.
The teacher dashboard organizes and analyzes student data. Teachers/parents can view students’ progress in individual skills and literacy components, create groups of students for instruction, and plan for correlated lessons. Teachers can also assign student levels or particular skills, which are taken into account in the student’s progression in the program. You can view a calendar that shows student individual activity. You can see a detailed view of the activities students completed, how many questions the student answered correctly, as well as how long they spent on each activity. You can also access an error analysis for each lesson. The free teacher dashboard displays all the phonics data. With the premium plan, you will have access to even more student data, such as the data for sight words, word families, reading comprehension and grammar lessons are available too.
The program allows for the student to progress, from sounds, to words, to stories. There are sight words, sentences, stories, and rhymes. The student earns badges after each segment is complete. The questions are not long, they are short, about 3 questions each, and the activity changes, allowing for variety to keep the learner interested. The voice overs are clear and animated tone. It is engaging to the student and sounds friendly. All activities have audio capability. You can even record yourself reading. The feedback given allows for self-correction, it is encouraging, and the learner can also rate how they are doing with the lesson. It is easy to use and it is game-based, and most children enjoy having fun while learning. The student demo is available at this link: https://student.lalilo.com/#/map/3/ready .
