For teachers, coaches, specialists
Complete building access
LitLab.ai bridges the gap from decoding to fluency and makes it easy to differentiate early reading practice — all while precisely aligning with existing Tier 1 phonics programs (UFLI, CKLA, Fundations, Reading Horizons, and others).
LitLab Premium provides educators with 1000+ high-quality decodables, and tools to create custom ones. For students, we offer joyful, differentiated, curriculum-aligned phonics and oral reading fluency practice with authentic decodables. We've seen top-quartile growth in controlled rollouts of LitLab.
Educators use LitLab to improve the efficacy of student individual reading time, and to generate high-quality, engaging decodables for whole-class use, small-group, or Tier II interventions. School leaders trust LitLab to improve coherence with their already adopted phonics programs.
LitLab Premium includes access to all three products, all of which are fully aligned to multiple core phonics scope and sequences:

(for schools)
Thousands of educators have used LitLab to supercharge reading practice for developing readers.

“Both classes had growth/performance rates higher than the other 1st and 2nd grade classes.
Thank you all at LitLab for helping us create engaged, fluent readers - a skill no one can take away from them. I can't tell you how much it means to me to know our kids are choosing to read (and doing it well) every day.”
— Emma Colonna, Director of K-8 Humanities, Nashville Classical Charter School

Generally speaking, there are three shortcomings with ChatGPT and most "AI decodable generators":
- Not Scope & Sequence Aware – True decodable texts follow a structured phonics progression, ensuring students only encounter taught letter-sound correspondences. ChatGPT does not track or enforce this sequence.
- Inconsistent Phonetic Control – Proper decodables minimize irregular words and multisyllabic words until students are ready for it, and thoughtfully exclude phonetic patterns beyond a student's instructional level.
- No Teacher Support – Decodable texts should support the teacher in understanding which words are not decodable so that they can be explicitly pre-taught, which words are reinforcing the given skill, and so on. They should also thoughtfully include relevant supplemental exercises and practice.
LitLab's Student Practice Platform is the only tool on the market that builds fluency with authentic, curriculum-aligned decodables.
