"StepsWeb are really responsive to customer queries and present a dynamic product that caters well for NZ student needs. It aligns well with the NZ Curriculum, is engaging for students without losing integrity of intent.

I love that there is room to tailor the programme to meet needs while also being able to rely on it running itself."

Sue Bennett, (Principal)

"StepsWeb has brought a new air of excitement for learning and achievement to our school, in the area of spelling and reading especially.

In one year it has already made a noticeable difference to our learners, particularly those who have struggled throughout Primary School in the area of literacy."

Tracey F. (Teacher)

"I am very impressed with the progress my students are experiencing as a result of using StepWeb as a classroom resource.

As a teacher, I appreciate the individuality of the lessons and how they are tailored to my student's needs, the structure of the lessons, how they build on previous knowledge, and the level of mastery required for a student to move on."

Follow an adaptive, systematic progression

The Course goes from the very beginnings of literacy to a level which would challenge most high-school learners.

With a strong emphasis on building comprehension at every level, the structured, logical Course is suitable as a core literacy progression for schools. Every learner in the class can work at their own level - with continuity from one year to the next.

Struggling learners follow the same progression, but at their own pace and with workbook support.

Structured Literacy

The specialist resource for non-specialists

Every activity on StepsWeb is research-based – even the games! And the structured literacy progression is absolutely in line with Science of Reading principles, including systematic and cumulative teaching, advanced diagnostic capabilities and plenty of explicit teaching opportunities and resources.

Enable every learner, including dyslexic and other struggling learners, to succeed in literacy with research-proven activities and resources.

Intuitive Reporting

Watch literacy results soar to new heights!

Teachers can easily and effectively track their students’ progress and accuracy – not only for reading and spelling, but also for comprehension and vocabulary, phonological awareness and phonic knowledge.

StepsWeb automatically generates a range of diagnostic information to enable teachers to easily report on their students’ progress, but also for senior staff to monitor effectiveness throughout the school.

You’ll also receive a weekly email telling you everything you need to know about your own students’ progress and achievements.

What StepsWeb looks like in the classroom

Research shows that students who meet their weekly goals achieve outstanding results!

Students are automatically set a weekly goal tailored to their needs. Just ensuring that each student meets their goals will guarantee outstanding results.

StepsWeb is flexible and can easily be integrated into your literacy curriculum. New students take a Placement Test and are automatically placed at the right level of the structured Course.

Each learner works through activities at their own level and speed – and can access StepsWeb from home as well as from school. Teachers can monitor and manage their performance live – even at a distance!
