Observation → conversation
ILLUSTRATIVE EVIDENCE NOTE · NOT AN APP SCREEN“During spelling practice, the learner wrote mt for mat.”
How did the teacher respond to the omitted vowel, and what did the student do next?
A student error frames a question. It does not, by itself, establish a teaching deficit.

A shared language for reading instruction
Foundational references for understanding reading instruction. Listing these frameworks does not imply endorsement, certification, or accreditation of LiteracyLens.
Small visits. Purposeful follow-through.
A practical rhythm for the classroom visit, the coaching conversation, and the work across your building.
Select relevant look-fors. Record the task, the teacher’s prompt, and the student response. Use Insufficient opportunity to judge when the visit gives too little relevant opportunity. Not Observed means a relevant opportunity occurred but the indicator was not seen.
Explore walkthroughsReview draft suggestions against their source evidence. Agree on one observable action and follow-up, then review the summary before sharing through your school’s approved process.
See reports & summariesReview domain evidence alongside contributing visits, teachers, date range and scope. Confirm priorities with the observer rather than selecting the lowest mean alone.
Explore building viewsA brief walkthrough samples instruction. Interpret it with lesson context and other evidence; it does not establish student achievement or a teacher’s overall effectiveness.
Make the time visible
Put your own assumptions to work. Estimate the time available for coaching when documentation takes less of your week.
Explore CSV reports and printable PDF summaries for leadership review and professional learning planning. Your district determines grant and board documentation requirements.

Your planning estimate
$4,320 estimated annual time value · 5.4× the license price
This plan covers up to 2 named instructional leaders at one school.
Weekly hours per administrator = walkthroughs × minutes saved ÷ 60. Annual building hours = weekly hours × administrators × school weeks. Time value = annual hours × hourly value. The price comparison divides time value by the selected annual license price.
This is an illustrative estimate, not measured ROI, guaranteed savings, or a reduction in payroll expense. It excludes onboarding time and other costs.
Clear expectations build trust
Give your school’s technology and procurement teams a clear place to start.
Principals and coaches conduct observations. Teachers and students do not need demo accounts. Use fictional information in the browser demo.
The actual app’s core walkthrough workflow and observation records run on your iPad or iPhone. You choose when to export and share reports. Optional services and backup paths need release-specific verification.
The revised export workflow calls for choosing a report, checking its preview and sharing through approved school channels. Keep student names, identifiers, and scores out of notes.
Before you step into the classroom
The core walkthrough workflow is designed for offline use on iPad/iPhone. Saving, relaunch and recovery still need testing in the revised release. Speech, backups and sharing may have separate connectivity requirements. The browser demo is a separate experience.
