Welcome to Litguide, OCSB.
Everything you need to get going, on one page. Find your role, follow a few short guides, and book a session if you want us to walk you through it. Nothing here needs a login to read.
New to Litguide? Here is the whole thing in three steps.
Reading, vocabulary, grammar and writing.
Nothing is visible until you release it.
Marked on Conventions and Topic Development.
One for you. One for your students.
These are the only two addresses anyone at OCSB needs.
Your classrooms, your class codes, releasing lessons, and marking. Everything on the staff side happens here.

Elementary is in, Grades 7 to 12.
OCSB is bringing Litguide into elementary for the first time, with a booklet written for younger readers. Access is unlimited for Grades 7 to 12, so nobody is counting seats.
Literacy Foundations
30 lessonsWritten for younger readers coming up into secondary literacy. This is the booklet your elementary classes will use.
Appears as OSSLT Booster in the platform until the rename goes live.
OSSLT Fundamentals
36 lessonsThe full OSSLT booklet your teachers already know. Also the right fit for adult learners and previously eligible students.
The grade ranges are a guide, not a rule.
Pick the one that sounds like you.
Three short paths. You only need to read yours, and it takes about ten minutes.
A few minutes each. Go in order the first time, then come back to whichever one you need.

What we are building for OCSB.
We keep this list current, so bookmark the page and check back whenever you want to know where things stand.
Right now a school admin and a teacher are separate accounts. We are making it one, so a principal, VP or SST can run their own classroom without a second login.
The Grades 7 to 8 booklet is being renamed from OSSLT Booster, so what you see in the platform matches what we call it here.
No seat counting for OCSB this year, Grades 7 to 12.
Book a session. Everyone is welcome.
Brand new, or using Litguide for years? Come anyway. Book on your own, bring your department, or put your whole staff meeting on it. Pick a time and we will take it from there.
Takes about thirty seconds. You will get a calendar invite by email.
Written guides for every role.
Searchable, written in plain language, and kept up to date as the platform changes. Open to everyone at OCSB.
Signing up, enrolling students, releasing lessons, student view, the rubric and reading your class data.
Your school dashboard, creating classrooms, assigning teachers, student details and the submissions tab.
How Litguide works, security and compliance, and what is new in the current release.
Before you email anyone, try the knowledge base. It is searchable and covers every question we get asked.
