Testimonials
What people say
From the parents, tutors and teachers who use Literacy Trail.
Parents and homeschoolers
“I was keeping track of everything in a notebook before. I would write down the lesson we were on and then forget which sounds we needed to go back to. This is so much easier.”
“My favorite part is being able to actually see the progress. Some weeks it feels like we are not getting anywhere, and then I look back and realize how many skills have been mastered.”
“Super simple but genuinely useful. I was doing basically the same thing manually in a spreadsheet, and this is much nicer.”
“I already had a reading curriculum. I just wanted a better way to keep track of where we were. Literacy Trail is pretty much exactly what I was looking for.”
“Having each child's progress in one place makes it so much easier to remember where we left off.”
“I did not think I needed a tracker until I started using one. I was constantly flipping back through lessons trying to remember what we had already done.”
“Having everything laid out in order makes me feel much more confident about what we have covered and what comes next.”
“Once you are tracking more than one child, it gets hard to remember where everybody is. Having it all in one place solves that problem.”
“I like that it is not trying to replace instruction. It just makes keeping track of everything way less annoying.”
“This is one of those really simple ideas that makes you wonder why there was not already an easy way to do it.”
“There are weeks when reading progress feels really slow. Looking back and seeing skills that used to be difficult but are now mastered makes the improvement much easier to notice.”
“Setup was simple, and now I just update progress when we finish a lesson.”
“The progress part ended up being much more motivating than I expected.”
“I wish I had something like this when we started.”
Teachers and tutors
“I used to have a spreadsheet, notes, and a binder. Having progress in one place is so much better.”
“I do not need more curriculum. I need to quickly see what has been mastered and what needs another day of practice. This does that really well.”
“It is really easy to jump between students and remember exactly where each one is.”
“Before we start, I can quickly see where we stopped and which skill still needs work. It sounds small, but it saves a lot of mental energy.”
“Being able to see skill gaps at a glance makes planning so much easier.”
“My lesson materials are still there, but now I am not writing progress notes all over them.”
“I love being able to pull up a student's history instead of trying to remember where I wrote everything down.”
“Keeping track of several students separately works until you are constantly switching between documents and notes. Being able to open a profile and immediately see what we worked on last time makes preparation much easier.”
