India’s first Lexile-powered English & Communication Skills Program
FluentUp1:1 Live Class
Read Better. Speak Stronger.Write Smarter.
FluentUp measures your child’s reading level, teaches right at it, and shows you that number rising, term after term.
A Shiksha Nation program. DPIIT-recognised startup, ISO 9001 certified.
Shiksha Nation has been featured in Forbes, Business Standard, India Today, Indian Express and Times of India.
Other classes say “more confident”. We show you the number.
Parents pay for English classes and rarely know how much their child has actually improved. FluentUp tracks three measures and shares every one of them with you.
- Measured every term
Lexile, for reading
How complex a text your child can read with real understanding. We use the same number to choose every book they read.
- Measured every month
CEFR, for speaking
The international A1 to C1 scale used by universities and employers. Recorded samples are scored for fluency, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
- Measured every month
Writing rubric
Ideas, organisation, grammar, vocabulary and voice, each scored 1 to 5, so you can watch writing improve piece by piece.
Four programs. Placed by level, not by age.
A Class 6 child reading at 450L starts where they will actually learn, then climbs.
