Grounded in the Science of Reading

LitLab.ai is designed to bridge the gap from decoding to fluency.

decodability

"Cognitive scientists have shown beyond doubt that fluent, accurate decoding is a hallmark of skilled reading" (Louisa C. Moats, 1998).

LitLab is ESSA Tier IV certified.

LitLab demonstrates a strong, research-based rationale for improving early literacy outcomes. We partnered with leading third-party researchers to build our logic model and conduct a feasibility study.

I love being able to customize the decodables. The students were amazed at their selections being quickly inserted into a decodable they could read within seconds. The decodables were really enjoyable for the children to read!

They were excited to read their stories, find their friends' stories afterwards, and then even read random stories with interesting titles. There isn't this excitement about Epic. They're not like, “Look at this cool book that I read,” but today they were like, “Oh my gosh, read this one!”
