Powered by speech recognition and AI, the Parent-Facing Literacy Screener (PFLS) will automate literacy assessment such that it requires neither classroom time nor teaching expertise to administer. PFLS will enable families to more deeply understand their children’s reading development, set goals, and measure progress. The data, in turn, will enable Springboard to personalize strategies that families and teachers can use to accelerate student learning.
