Lalilo by Renaissance

I use Lalilo to help my students practice and learn the skills they are struggling with. I am the dyslexia specialist and Title 1 Reading teacher for my district, so I work mostly with students who are struggling with phonics and phonemic awareness skills. Lalilo helps reinforce skills that my students seem to have a hard time grasping.

• I don't have the complete version. I love how much I can do with the free version. My students love learning through Lalilo.
• I use this product periodically instead of daily or weekly. It is a great resource for my students, especially one who is in second grade and cannot even name all of the letters. He worked with Lalilo while I still was able to work with him and I could see him gaining knowledge as he was completing the activities. At first, he doesn't understand the concept being taught. It only takes a couple of minutes for him to learn the concept and pass the level to progress to the next.

We use Lalilo with our students who fall into our Pre-primer rating as well as our more disabled students in our pre-vocational program. They absolutely love it for the interactiveness and great learning goals. Students log on throughout the week to improve upon their ELA skills and we have seen progress throughout our students who have used it.

• It is a great resource for our most struggling students.

I use Lalilo as a supplement and intervention for my 2nd grade students. I have had a great experience using Lalilo. My students are very engaged and it provides another mode to practice phonics and reading. I like that it provides each student with their own path of learning, so they are practicing exactly what they need.

I use Lalilo as an extra boost of practice for my students who are learning to read. I teach special education, so all of my students have some kind of disability. Lalilo evens out the playing field for my students, who are all able to increase their reading abilities using it. Every student I introduce to Lalilo loves it! I am able to use Lalilo practice as a reward for my students when they finish the regular work in our classroom.

• Ease of use
• Leveling for students
• Feedback so I can see the exact skills my students are working on

• For a student who only knew 18 alphabet letters when beginning Lalilo, the student has increased overall performance to recognizing 80% of the "ut" family of words.
• Students in grades 3 and 5 are increasing their reading levels from K and 1 to the end of year 2.

We have started to use the free version of Lalilo with our FAP students. These students are working on material between 1st and 4th grade. Lalilo allows teachers to individualize instruction to meet their needs. It allows our teachers and IAs to move between small groups and individual progress to permit more time for student interaction and more pointed direct instruction

• Differentiation for students
• Less prep for teachers
• Allows instructional assistants to better assist individual students

• We have seen tremendous growth with some of our students
• Growth in lagging skills for students (close the gap)
