ABOUT LALILO:

Lalilo is an EdTech Startup building a web-based app to help elementary teachers differentiate their reading instruction. Our vision is to support educators in the classroom by gathering pedagogy, design, and artificial intelligence in the most engaging learning platform. We believe teachers have the hardest, most impactful, and most important job in society - and we want to help them in their mission to help students. We also believe every student should be given every chance to succeed, and this starts by becoming a proficient reader.

Our tool is used monthly by more than 80,000 teachers as well as 700,000 students and growing! On the student side, students evolve through different worlds and collect treasures as they go. They complete exercises in phonics, sight words, word families, comprehension, and grammar. On the teacher side, detailed reporting allows teachers to better understand student strengths and areas of need. Educators can also print weekly reports and invite families to use the platform at home.
