EducationDifferentiated Instruction & Assessment3MediumTeacher$ implied

Teacher struggles to provide inclusive ELA instruction that meets the individual needs of students with reading levels spanning from 1st to 6th grade in the same classroom, without relying solely on assigning leveled digital practice like IXL.

Existing solutions like IXL provide leveled practice but do not facilitate whole-class instruction that is inclusive and engaging for all reading levels simultaneously.

Workarounds Described

  • Plans to use getting-to-know-you worksheets and interest surveys to gauge student levels informally
  • Intends to have students write a summer reflection and refine it over time, likely manually differentiating feedback

Implied Software Gaps

  • A tool that automatically adjusts reading materials to each student's level while keeping the class on the same topic
  • A platform that tracks individual student progress toward IEP goals and suggests targeted interventions
App Concept

Literacy Bridge

Literacy Bridge helps teachers deliver unified ELA lessons that automatically adapt to each student's reading level, enabling inclusive whole-class instruction without segregating students. It scaffolds texts, tailors questions, and provides real-time insights so every learner is challenged and supported.

Key Features
  • Automatic text leveling: provides multiple versions of the same text at different Lexile levels so all students read the same content at their own reading level.
  • Differentiated questioning: generates questions and prompts at varying depths of knowledge based on each student's reading level and IEP goals.
  • Progress monitoring dashboard: tracks individual student growth and mastery of ELA standards, with alerts for those needing intervention.
  • Collaborative activities: includes built-in discussion prompts and group work structures that mix students of different levels for peer learning.
Target Users: Special education and general education teachers in grades 4-12 who teach inclusive classrooms with wide reading level ranges.
Revenue Model: $99/year per teacher subscription, with school and district licenses available for volume discounts.
