What Litguide is

Litguide is a curriculum-based platform built for the Ontario education system, with resources and tools for school boards, schools, educators, and students, covering everything needed to prepare for and pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test.

It is used across school boards and independent schools in Ontario today, from Grade 7 preparation through senior OLC4O classes. It is built specifically for the OSSLT.

Who built it

Built for teachers, by teachers who know the OSSLT.

Litguide was shaped by Ontario educators who have prepared students for this test and know exactly where they get stuck. That is why the lessons, the practice, and the marking all follow the OSSLT itself rather than a generic literacy model.

01Written to the OSSLT itself, not a generic literacy framework
02Every question reviewed by educators who have taught the test
03Feedback written the way a teacher would say it in the margin
Example annotationInference

The committee met for an hour and left without a decision. Maya packed her folder slowly, waiting for someone else to speak first.

Students answer what Maya did. The question asks what it tells you about her. That gap is the whole skill.

The platform

One platform, built for one test.

An all-in-one solution

Every facet of the OSSLT curriculum in one place: lessons, workbook practice, full-length practice tests, and essay writing marked against the OSSLT rubric.

Built to be used, not explained

An interactive interface students actually engage with, and a structure educators can navigate without training days.

On every device a school has

Runs in any modern browser, with no installs, no app store, and no device management. Students and staff sign in with Google, and progress follows them across every device.

Curriculum alignment

Fully aligned with the 2023 Ontario literacy curriculum.

When the literacy curriculum was updated, we updated with it, including every requirement of the OSSLT. Boards and educators get resources that are current by default, not a version behind, and students practise against the test as it is actually written today.
