🏫 Built for District ELL, ESOL & Assessment Coordinators

One Platform Replaces Six —
Ellevation, Lexia, ReadWorks, HMH, NWEA, IXL

Kuliso delivers the complete platform stack for multilingual learners: structured literacy, reading comprehension, AI writing feedback, adaptive benchmarks, growth measurement, MTSS/RTI tiering, structured intervention pathways, newcomer/LTEL support, AI tutoring in 20+ languages, ELD compliance, and IEP/504/DHH accommodations — from a single platform, at a fraction of the cost.

One platform that replaces six.

Districts have been forced to stitch together Ellevation (compliance), IXL (skills), Lexia (literacy), ReadWorks (reading), HMH (curriculum + intervention), and NWEA (assessment) — each with its own login, contract, and budget line. Kuliso replaces all six with one system built specifically for multilingual learners.

Capability 1 of 12

Reclassification Tracking & ELD Portfolio

Every ELL student gets a complete, auditable record: ACCESS score history, WIDA Can-Do progress, oral language samples, and reclassification readiness status — updated automatically. Coordinators see the whole district in a single dashboard.

  • ACCESS score trends with grade-level benchmarks and year-over-year comparison
  • Reclassification readiness predictor with at-risk flags per student
  • LTEL (Long-Term English Learner) identification with intervention triggers
  • ELD portfolio completeness tracking across all required evidence types
  • Class-wide and school-wide reclassification progress by grade level

  • LPAC committee meeting summaries with signature capture
  • Annual parent notification letters in 20+ languages (PDF and Word export)
  • Accommodation log with date-stamped entries for audit trail

Skills Mastery & Assessment Readiness

ELL students need to pass state assessments. Kuliso's skills engine provides SOL/STAAR/FAST readiness scores, class-wide mastery heatmaps, and at-risk alerts — so teachers can intervene before test day, not after.

  • SOL, STAAR, and FAST readiness scoring per student and class
  • Mastery heatmaps showing standard-by-standard gaps across ELA, Math, Science
  • At-risk alerts when a student falls below proficiency threshold
  • Adaptive practice across Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies K-8
  • ELL cohort vs. district average benchmark comparison

AI Tutoring in 20+ Languages

SoBot — Kuliso's AI tutor — teaches students in their native language using WIDA-level scaffolding. No other compliance platform offers this. A student who speaks Vietnamese gets math and science instruction in Vietnamese, with English academic vocabulary built in as they progress.

  • Instruction in Spanish, Arabic, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, Somali, and 15+ more languages
  • WIDA Can-Do level-calibrated scaffolding (Levels 1–5)
  • English academic vocabulary bridging built into every tutoring session
  • All subjects K-8: Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies
  • SIFE and newcomer pathways with foundational literacy support

Retention Science — Built Into Every Session

Kuliso is the only ESOL platform built on cognitive science. Spaced repetition, interleaving, retrieval practice, and cross-subject knowledge transfer are baked into the assignment engine — not bolted on as an optional add-on.

  • Spaced repetition schedules that surface forgotten vocabulary before it's lost
  • Interleaving: mixed practice sets that build deeper concept mastery
  • Retrieval practice: low-stakes recall that outperforms re-reading 2:1
  • Cross-subject transfer: science vocabulary reinforced in ELA sessions
  • Personalized forgetting curves per student, per concept

IEP / 504 / DHH Adaptive Accommodations

Multilingual learners with disabilities need both ELL and special education accommodations simultaneously. Kuliso handles both in a single student profile, with IDEA-compliant logging and modality adaptation built in.

  • Accommodation presets for IEP, 504, and DHH profiles
  • Modality adaptation: visual, auditory, ASL-native, and tactile-digital modes
  • IDEA-compliant accommodation logs with date-stamped audit trail
  • Native language literacy screening for newcomers and SIFE students
  • WIDA Home Language Survey digitization and secure storage

Structured Literacy in the Student's Language

Most structured literacy programs teach phonics and decoding in English only. Kuliso delivers structured literacy instruction in the student's home language — where they already have phonological awareness — and then bridges those literacy skills to English academic reading.

  • Phonics and decoding pathways in home language for newcomers and SIFE students
  • L1-to-English literacy transfer: leverage existing phonological awareness
  • Structured scope and sequence aligned to WIDA ELP levels 1–5
  • Foundational literacy screening for students with interrupted schooling
  • Fluency passages and oral language development in 20+ languages

Reading Comprehension Library — 20+ Languages

ReadWorks built the best English reading library in K-12. Kuliso takes that idea and extends it to every language — generating leveled paired texts in the student's home language and English, with background knowledge activation, vocabulary support, and comprehension checks built in.

  • AI-generated leveled reading passages in 20+ home languages + English paired texts
  • Background knowledge activation in L1 before English text introduction
  • Formative comprehension checks with home-language scaffolding for ELLs
  • Bilingual vocabulary tools with spaced repetition and academic bridging
  • Informational and literary text types across content areas K-8

AI Writing Feedback — English & Home Language

Writing feedback tools like Writable only work in English, leaving ELL writers without feedback on their home-language writing or their early-stage English attempts. Kuliso's AI writing feedback works in English and in the student's home language — with genre-specific rubrics and multilingual scaffolding that meets students where they are.

  • AI writing feedback in English and 20+ home languages with genre-specific rubrics
  • Scaffolded feedback for ELL writers at WIDA Levels 1–5
  • Opinion, informational, narrative, and argument writing genres K-8
  • Bilingual revision suggestions — home language and English side-by-side
  • Writing portfolio tracking integrated with ELD compliance documentation

Adaptive Benchmarks & ELL-Accurate Growth Measurement

NWEA MAP measures growth accurately — but tests in English only, systematically underestimating ELL students who know the content but can't yet express it in English. Kuliso's adaptive benchmarks include home-language scaffolding so assessment scores reflect what students actually know. Growth measurement is WIDA-contextualized — not English-normed.

  • Adaptive benchmark assessments with home-language scaffolding for ELL accuracy
  • WIDA-calibrated growth norms — content knowledge disaggregated from English proficiency
  • Longitudinal growth tracking across reading, writing, math, and science K-8
  • Quarterly benchmark reports in 20+ languages for student and parent reports
  • Assessment-to-instruction loop: gaps identified → instruction delivered in the same session

MTSS / RTI Tiering & Structured Intervention Pathways

Read 180 and Math 180 provide structured intervention — but in English only. Kuliso delivers Tier 1/2/3 classification and structured intervention pathways in the student's home language, so students get intervention that addresses their actual gap rather than being routed through English-language intervention for a language barrier problem.

  • Unified Tier 1/2/3 classification across reading, math, and science — based on ELL-accurate benchmark data
  • Structured intervention pathways delivered in home language (Read 180-style rigor, multilingual access)
  • Math intervention pathways: concept remediation in student's language eliminates language-math confounds
  • At-risk flags and intervention triggers with auto-routing to appropriate pathway
  • Progress monitoring with evidence collection for MTSS documentation requirements

Newcomer & LTEL Specialized Pathways

Newly arrived students and Long-Term English Learners have fundamentally different needs that generic ELL platforms don't address separately. Kuliso's newcomer pathways build literacy from the ground up. LTEL pathways address the academic language stagnation that traps students who have been in ELL programs for 6+ years.

  • Newcomer pathway: L1 literacy screening, foundational phonics, and content access in home language from Day 1
  • SIFE support: structured learning for students with interrupted formal education
  • LTEL identification: automatic flag when a student has been at the same WIDA level for 2+ years
  • LTEL intervention: targeted academic language intensification with Tier 2 vocabulary focus
  • WIDA Home Language Survey digitization and secure portfolio storage
