ALTR (Australian Literacy Tracking and Resources)
ALTR (Australian Literacy Tracking and Resources) is PLD’s online literacy screening, tracking and reporting platform, designed to help schools monitor student progress and make informed decisions about literacy instruction. ALTR is an alternative to PLD’s downloadable tracking sheets.
ALTR saves teachers valuable time by automating marking, reporting and the formation of targeted teaching groups. Once test papers are scanned, ALTR can generate results and targeted groups in minutes, giving teachers a clearer picture of student needs and practical next steps for instruction.
Designed to complement PLD’s evidence-based Structured Synthetic Phonics approach, every ALTR subscription also includes free access to online professional learning courses, aligned to each teacher’s year group. Schools can start with a single classroom or extend across the whole school.
- Save teachers time: Automate assessment marking, tracking and reporting to reduce hours spent on assessment tasks each term.
- Track student and whole-school progress: Monitor results, identify learning gaps and see progress over the year.
- Three targeted teaching groups: Inform SSP program planning, with groups automatically established.
- Flexible: Start with a single classroom or extend ALTR across the whole school.
- Free professional learning: Access PLD’s online courses aligned to each teacher’s year group.
Try ALTR with confidence. We’ll help your school get set up, and if you don’t see improvements in literacy levels over one school year, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee.
