Overall Satisfaction with Lalilo by Renaissance

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 and Cons

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.

Return on Investment

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.

Usability

I gave Lalilo this rating, because my students were all able to get logged into the program and get started on their own, no matter their age. I like the reports that are available. They are tailored to individual student performance, so I can see what my students are capable of doing and what they still need help with.

Alternatives Considered

Lalilo works right along side the Star assessments. As my students progress through the lessons, they are also scoring better on their Star tests. I would love to access the complete version, so I can see the complete reports. I need to find a way to get help in funding this.

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.
