Made for Elementary:
Is Your LMS Built for Your Learners?
Research confirms that effective LMS design must “understand the needs and expectations of each user group”*
Most LMS platforms were built for middle and high school. They rely on text-heavy interfaces, independent navigation, and course-centric analytics — leaving elementary teachers and learners to adapt to tools never meant for them.
In elementary classrooms, this gap shows up as:
Students struggling to navigate and stay engaged.
Teachers spending more time managing tools than teaching.
Families disconnected from what’s happening in class.

An LMS built for K–5 should include...
Voice and icon-based navigation to support non-readers
Multimodal tools for students to draw, record & annotate
Built-in family engagement to strengthen home connections
Dashboards to show growth in literacy, ELD, and foundational skills
