Frequently asked questions

What is Leiamos and how can it help with learning to read?

Leiamos is a methodology that supports learning to read. It supports reading development through an algorithm that, based on an assessment of the child's current skills, suggests an individual intervention plan made up of playful, game-like activities.

We start by understanding what each child already knows and which skills they need to develop. From there, the platform helps define an intervention plan with activities and games suited to their needs.

Does the platform follow evidence-based methodologies?

Yes — the entire assessment and intervention process, including the algorithm that suggests the individual intervention plan, is based on current scientific knowledge and studies that evaluated the positive impact of these proposals.

The methodology is also supported by studies that evaluated the results of the intervention.

Which pre-reading and reading skills does Leiamos work on?

At the pre-reading level, Leiamos focuses on building phoneme awareness and letter-sound relationships.

At the reading level, Leiamos focuses on the decoding process — the “mechanics” of reading.

How can I use Leiamos in my classroom?

Leiamos proposes intervention activity plans meant to be carried out in a human context, between the teacher and their students. The classroom setting is ideal for these activities.

Can the platform track each student's individual progress?

Yes — the results of each assessment automatically generate a chart showing, for each skill, whether the child is on track or falling behind expectations. Each new assessment generates charts that include previous results, making it possible to understand the progress curve.

Does Leiamos provide progress reports or metrics?

Yes — immediately after each assessment, a report is generated showing the progress trend line.

Is there a specific plan for schools or school groups?

Yes — Leiamos is designed to meet the needs of a school group, generating reports tailored to each management level — from the teacher, with access to each student's results per skill, to the principal, with access to results by school and grade level.

Teachers can see their students’ results across the different skills. The school or school group can get an overall view of results by class, grade level and school.

How can I get training to use Leiamos with my students?

The Leiamos offering includes accredited training and consulting, complementing all of the platform's features.

What devices is Leiamos available on?

Leiamos is available on computer, tablet, and mobile phone.

Does using the platform require a permanent internet connection?

No. The internet connection can be occasional: data is saved on the device's memory and uploaded to the server as soon as a signal becomes available.

Where can I get technical support if I run into difficulties?

Technical support is available by email at [email protected].

How can I suggest improvements or give feedback about the platform?

Through the Leiamos Forum, available on the platform, where all users can contribute and access community content.

What sets Leiamos apart from other solutions for children learning to read?

Leiamos is grounded in scientific studies that support the positive impact of its intervention proposals at the Preschool and 1st Cycle levels.

At the preschool level, it focuses on building phoneme awareness — an essential skill for later learning of letter-sound relationships.

All Leiamos intervention proposals assume human contact between the teacher and the children.

Is Leiamos a set of virtual games for children to complete on their own, without the teacher present?

No. Leiamos believes that human contact between the teacher and the children is essential to learning. All intervention proposals are designed to be carried out in a physical setting.

The assessment indicates what each child needs to develop, and the activities are carried out with a professional alongside them.

Does the Leiamos Methodology “work” for “good students” too?

Yes. All students, whatever their level of difficulty, feel motivated and benefit from the gradual, systematic approach Leiamos proposes.

The assessment shows each child’s starting point and lets the work be tailored to the skills they need to develop. That way, every child can move forward from their own level.
