Turn a Glow lesson pathway into an editable schedule for your classroom, small group, tutoring session, or homeschool day. Math Facts, Sight Words, and Math & Logic share the same planning tools.

Choose teaching days and session length.

2–12 week plans5–45 minutes per teaching day
  1. Choose your starting point.

    Select a subject, grade range, learning pathway, and starting lesson. Review its prerequisites and readiness questions.

  2. Let Glow organize the sequence.

    Choose your teaching days and session length. Glow divides longer lessons across days and schedules returns to earlier learning. Preview the plan before saving.

  3. Keep the plan flexible.

    Open Today for the next session, or This week for the bigger picture. Move a session or reschedule unfinished work while keeping completed observations in place.

Scaffolding & differentiated practice

Model the skill.
Reduce help as independence grows.

Scaffolding means offering help as a learner gets started, then easing it back as they become more independent. Glow lessons bring the models, prompts, supports, and extension ideas into your teaching session.

  1. Model the idea

    Use the lesson’s worked example, objects, drawing, or word routine. Make the thinking visible.

  2. Practice together

    Follow the teacher prompts. Open More support for the lesson’s extra help, or choose a supported introduction when making your plan.

  3. Invite an independent try

    Use the lesson check and record what you see: independent, with support, or needs a revisit. Note the model or context used.

  4. Choose the next step

    Glow suggests support, review, or an extension from your observations and linked practice. You decide which suggestion to add to the plan.

Assess starting skills and retained learning.

Glow Check-ins connects starting checks, lesson checks, weekly reviews, and later rechecks to each learner. A starting check can suggest the first lesson in a new plan. Choose online tasks or printable checks, then record adult observations for spoken reading, explanations, and hands-on work.

One adult account. Up to 40 learners.

Use a class or group plan for shared teaching. Link a separate plan to each learner for individual observations, check-ins, and progress reports. Students use their existing email-free seats; app practice uses the apps covered by your subscription.

Keep a plan for each subject, copy a plan for another learner, and adjust the pace as you go.
