Nomination Title: Pearson iLit

The date on which this nominated app was first distributed or otherwise made public: The initial iLit app version 1.0 released in August 2012

Briefly describe this app’s objectives and how it has met those objectives (up to 125 words). Include here the platforms your app supports:

Pearson Education’s iLit program is designed for struggling readers who cannot read at the appropriate grade level. The first iPad-based learning suite of its kind, iLit engages students like no other reading program.

iLit offers 4th - 10th graders personalized learning support and includes engaging activities and built-in reward systems that motivate students and track their progress. Teachers receive a separate iLit application, guiding educators through each lesson and enabling them to respond in real time to what’s occurring in the classroom.

And iLit is not only innovative, it’s effective. While the initial goal was to improve students' literacy rates by two grade levels over one year, early results have already exceeded expectations, improving rates by 1.7 grade levels in only four months.
