How it works
Five habits. One screen each.
Reading is taught in order, with review built in. Every part of the app follows that shape, so the record grows while you teach instead of after.
The five habits
In the order you use them, every week of the year.
Set up your students
Add each student, choose the reading sequence you teach from, and pick the lesson they are on. UFLI Foundations is already set up; your own sequence takes a minute.
Open Today and teach
Every student shows their next lesson. Press Start, teach from your own materials, and you are done in two taps.
Mark how it went
Needs support, Developing, or Secure. That one choice decides whether a skill comes back soon, later, or moves on.
Let review take care of itself
Skills that need another try come back on the right day. The calendar shows when; you decide what to do with them.
Show the progress
A clear report of what was taught, what is secure, and what still needs work. Print it, share it, or export it.
Keep each child on their own reading path.
See what's next, keep track of practice, and have a clear record of what you've covered.
- Up to 5 children on the Family plan, each at their own lesson
- A lesson history you can print or export for homeschool records
- Vacation mode that shifts the calendar instead of breaking it
- A certificate to print when a unit is finished
Every student's next step, in one place.
Keep your students organized without spending your evening updating notes.
- Educator in bands of 25, 50, 100 students, with groups and bulk recording
- Students who need attention (long gaps, repeated Needs support) surface on Today.
- Attendance and cancellation reasons on the calendar
- Reports that print cleanly for the parent meeting
One shared place for reading instruction.
Give teachers one place for students, lessons and review across classrooms, with each person seeing only what their role allows.
- $5 per student per year from 75 students, unlimited educators sharing one roster
- Owner, admin, educator and viewer roles
- Curricula shared across the team
- Invoicing, purchase orders and setup help
What it deliberately leaves out
- No lesson content and no publisher branding. You teach from your own materials.
- No student logins, leaderboards or games. Adults use the app; students read.
- No reading levels or scores. Progress is recorded as Needs support, Developing or Secure.
- No software deciding what a student should do next. You do.
Literacy Trail is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Florida Literacy Institute. It contains no UFLI lesson content, only lesson names and order.
