Structured Pilot. Measurable Outcomes.

Give Every Student a Reading Specialist

You know which students are falling behind. You also know there are never enough specialist hours in the day. LUCA is an intelligent reading specialist that listens at the phoneme level, adapts to each student, and hands you MTSS-ready data after every session. Our structured pilot gives you measurable outcomes and the documentation you need to scale with confidence.

LUCA is an intelligent reading specialist that listens to students read at the phoneme level, identifies the precise gap in their decoding or fluency, and builds a personalized path forward aligned to the Science of Reading. Unlike a generic reading app, LUCA works the way a trained specialist works: it listens first, then acts.

1 reading specialist for every 211 students who need one.

That is the national ratio. It is not a staffing failure on your part. It is a structural gap that has existed for decades. The students who cannot access specialist support today fall further behind each week. A LUCA pilot does not replace your specialists. It extends their reach to every student on the caseload at once.

The Challenge

Does This Sound Familiar?

magnifying glass purple

“I know my struggling readers. I just cannot get to all of them individually before the day is over.”

chart blue

“Our intervention data is scattered across spreadsheets. Putting together a Tier 2 progress report takes hours I do not have.”

folder purple

“Administration wants measurable proof that our reading interventions are working. I need documentation, not just anecdotes.”

laptop blue

“We evaluated two reading programs last year. Both required expensive hardware or dedicated lab time. Neither fit our schedule or budget.”

Every week without specialist support is a week of reading ground lost.

LUCA gives every student phoneme-level feedback the moment they read, not when a specialist slot opens up.

The Specialist Core Behind Every Session

Three engines work together in real time so every student gets a specialist-grade session, whether you are present or not.

SoundScout phoneme-level listening

Listens

Phoneme-level precision

SoundScout hears every phoneme in real time, the same level of analysis a trained reading specialist applies. No scoring delay. No waiting for results.

Assessment Intelligence adaptive analysis

Analyzes

Adaptive skill mapping

Assessment Intelligence maps each student's precise gap in decoding, fluency, or comprehension and routes them to the right intervention. No guesswork. No generic leveled readers.

Personalized reading path builder

Builds

Personalized paths

JourneyBuilder generates a personalized reading path for each student, updated after every session. EducatorHub delivers MTSS-ready progress reports directly to you.

What the Pilot Includes

Everything you need to measure, document, and scale

A LUCA pilot is not a trial with no support. It is a structured program with three layers of value built in from day one.

Measurement: Real data from real sessions

SoundScout captures fluency and accuracy after every read-aloud. You see gains in words per minute, phoneme accuracy, and comprehension alongside a full audit trail.

Documentation: MTSS-ready reports on demand

EducatorHub generates Tier 2 and Tier 3 progress monitoring reports aligned to your RTI and MTSS frameworks, ready to share with administrators or IEP teams.

Support: A dedicated partnership contact

Your pilot school gets onboarding training, implementation guidance, and a named contact on our team throughout the program. We succeed when your students do.

Why Educators Choose LUCA

Three things educators tell us after their first pilot

trophy purple

The data is actually usable

EducatorHub reports are formatted for MTSS teams, not for software companies. Educators tell us they spend less time building intervention documentation and more time acting on it.

heart purple

Students stay engaged

Because LUCA adapts to each student's exact level, sessions feel manageable rather than frustrating. Students who avoided reading practice start asking for more time.

Administration approved quickly

The evidence base, the NSF validation, and the MTSS alignment documents answer the questions administrators ask. Pilots that arrive with data get approved faster.
