Overview

Literably provides an EdTech platform for K-8 literacy assessment that lets students read texts aloud and answer questions on web and iOS, then uses a mix of human transcriptionists and child-focused speech-recognition AI to generate metrics such as reading accuracy, words correct per minute, running records, and comprehension scores aligned to Common Core. The system analyzes oral reading fluency, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension to give teachers data they can use to guide instruction and group students. It differentiates itself by combining automated scoring with human review to handle large volumes of audio and by connecting assessment results with actionable classroom guidance and curricula. The goal is to save teachers time on one-on-one assessments and provide a clear, standards-aligned view of student progress, with Literably now integrated under Heggerty to link assessments with curricula.
