We're Learn To Be, a nonprofit that helps underserved youth. This is where we build and test small tools for learning — free to use, and hopefully useful for teachers too.
Classic assessments and practice routines, rebuilt as software. Some are live today; others are on the bench being tested.
Graded word lists that pinpoint a reader's independent, instructional, and frustration levels in about five minutes.
Timed multiple-choice cloze passages that measure comprehension and reading rate for quick progress monitoring.
A developmental features analysis that places a student in a spelling stage and shows what to teach next.
A one-minute handwriting check — how many alphabet letters a student can write correctly, a proxy for reading processing speed.
Read a passage aloud — or paste your own — and get scored on words-per-minute, accuracy, and the words to work on.
...and more on the way. Have a paper tool you wish were digital? We'd love to build it.
