Kid and Teacher Friendly

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Lalilo follows a progression allowing my students to show success by beginning with skills they know and progressing at their pace to learn and practice new concepts.
  • Lalilo allows me to see the skills my students have mastered and which skills they still need help with.

Cons

  • I like the progression that the students go through in order to practice concepts they are struggling with, but I wish they had videos or some way other way for the students to practice other than just asking questions.

Likelihood to Recommend

The students love to work with Lalilo. They love to earn the badges, treasures, and stories. I love that I can look at the reports and see if my students are proficient, or still needing help in specific areas. Lalilo is a great way to reward students for at the end of each week for working hard throughout the week.

Lalilo works!

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Phonics
  • Syllabification
  • Pre-primer reading practice

Cons

  • I've haven't had any issues

Likelihood to Recommend

This program is definitely more suited for those students in K-2 but can also be helpful to students who struggle with reading.

Lalilo

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Easy to use for teachers and students.
  • Provides an independent path of learning for each student.
  • Teachers can also assign specific assignments as needed.

Cons

  • I have not had any difficulties with Lalilo.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for extra phonics practice and intervention. It is not meant to replace a classroom teacher. It is meant for K-2 students, but can be used for older students who need more practice/intervention.

Kids love Lalilo!

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Lalilo allows each student to be placed at the exactly right level for their skills.
  • Lalilo makes learning to read fun by using badges that students earn for each skill.
  • Lalilo gives students the ability to request easier or harder lessons based on their current skills.

Cons

  • For my lower students, it would be nice to have more practice in alphabetical skills before moving on to reading.
  • Sometimes the sound glitches out and we have to restart the lesson.

Likelihood to Recommend

Given students whose behaviors can affect their ability to learn, Lalilo is well suited because it allows students to begin at their just right level and move ahead at their own pace. The fun factor is high enough that students stay engaged, even when they might not do so on other learning platforms. Students also enjoy comparing their badges, so for students who are motivated by competition with their friends, this works in their favor.

We began using Lalilo as a supplement for our reading program. We now use it for the whole class in both Kindergarten and First Grade. Our students love it and they are so engaged. The badges, treasures and stories are great for motivating our students. Our students use the program at home too. Parents have expressed excitement over this program. Our school love Lalilo!!!!

Pros

  • phonics
  • capitalization
  • noun verb agreement

Cons

  • so far no complaints

Likelihood to Recommend

It provides a great phonics reinforcement tool. Due to the pandemic our students have struggled with phonics.

Amazing Product

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

While I teach secondary, Lalilo allows my students who are far below grade level to close the gap in their learning. It keeps my students engaged without feeling like they get bored of the learning. I have seen sufficient growth in my students who use it and they have grew in their grade level.

Pros

  • Close achievement gap
  • Work with Phonics
  • Engaging

Cons

  • nA

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for students who are far below grade level and need help with phonics from grade K to second grade. It would not be appropriate for students who are at the third-grade level or higher as it will just be reviewed for those students and they would not be challenged.

Help for Emerging Readers

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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

Pros

  • Differentiate Instruction
  • Pinpoint areas of need for students
  • Engaging for our struggling learners
  • Allows students to progress/work on skills that they need

Cons

  • More engaging sounds/badges for older learners
  • Questions/Topics related to older students

Likelihood to Recommend

I think that Lalilo is a beneficial program for elementary students and middle school students who have significant deficits. It provides pointed instruction and skill-based measurement which allows teachers to quickly gauge student progress and measure what standards and/or skills need to be retaught/revisited with individuals or across a class.
