How it works

Focus on teaching, not on admin

• No more setting or marking weekly spelling tests.
• No more hours of filling in spreadsheets.
• No more wondering if the material suits all your students’ needs.

The StepsWeb Course offers a time-efficient and cost-effective structured literacy approach, which is proven to develop students’ processing skills and cognitive efficiency.

StepsWeb provides a comprehensive literacy program for your entire school, with automatic analysis of each student's level and needs. 

Continual Reinforcement

The Circular Progression model.

As learners progress through the online Course, they are constantly being monitored.  The programme will automatically assign them extra reinforcement for words that require more practice before moving forward.  

This can also be demonstrated by the Circular Progression model where words, patterns, sounds, and concepts are taught, practised, checked and, if necessary, reinforced.

Structured Approach

StepsWeb supports a structured literacy approach with its systematic Course, diagnostic capabilities, and explicit teaching resources.

The educational content within StepsWeb is based upon structured literacy principles.  As such, StepsWeb provides a research-proven tool for teachers, which improves their ability to effectively teach their whole class, including struggling and dyslexic learners.  StepsWeb enables all students to become successful readers and spellers.

Literacy Course for your whole school

Reduce your teachers' workload!

More and more schools are using StepsWeb as their primary literacy programme across the whole school.

StepsWeb automatically does the hard work for you.  That means teachers no longer have to set or mark weekly spelling tests, are no longer continually uploading student data and can feel confident that their material will suit every student's literacy level.  Teachers can also customise StepsWeb as much, or as little as they want.

And StepsWeb has much more!

As well as the structured literacy Course, StepsWeb contains thousands of individual wordlists, covering spelling patterns and rules, prefixes, suffixes, grammar, word study, word families, topics and much more!    It’s easy for teachers to find and assign additional wordlists for specific purposes, including lists they’ve created themselves.

There are also Supporting Activity and Games sections, with a wide range of activities to reinforce phonological awareness, phonic knowledge, memory skills, verbal reasoning and even common knowledge, such as alphabet sequencing or months of the year.
