Overview
READ. WRITE. LEARN. GROW.
LIGHTSAIL LITERACY PLATFORM

Since 2012, LightSail has helped time-strapped teachers
develop students' reading confidence, comprehension,
and literacy skills with an extensive library, robust
supports, and insightful reports - with the social features
today’s students expect.
By reading just 30 minutes a day on LightSail, students
can show significant gains on their Lexile® scores.
LightSail’s instructional and administrative tools balance
the administrators’ and educators needs for ease-of-use,
versatility, pedagogical rigor, and value with the students’
need for an engaging, motivational, content-rich, and
diverse literacy experience.
