# Successfully Integrating Kaligo into Your Classroom: A Teacher’s Experience

**Successfully Integrating Kaligo into Your Classroom: A Teacher’s Experience**

Finding time for literacy practice in an already packed school day can feel nearly impossible. One school tackled this challenge by rethinking *where* and *how* Kaligo fits into their routine, turning it into a flexible, engaging tool used across multiple learning moments.

Here’s what worked and how you can apply these ideas in your own classroom:



### 1. Blend Kaligo Into Your Existing Schedule

Rather than treating Kaligo as an “extra,” the school integrated it across different parts of the day:

* During classroom carousel activities
* In lunchtime and after-school clubs
* As optional homework for independent practice

**Tip:** Look for small pockets of time where Kaligo can naturally fit. Even short, consistent sessions can make a big difference.


### 2. Make It Feel Like a Reward

Students were excited to use Kaligo because of the environment created around it. Teachers:

* Played calming music
* Allowed children to get comfortable by taking their shoes off for example 
* Created a relaxed, focused atmosphere

This transformed handwriting practice into something students *looked forward to*.

**Tip:** Set the tone. A calm, inviting setup can increase engagement and motivation.


### 3. Collaborate Closely With Your Team

One key takeaway: successful implementation requires teamwork.

Teachers worked together to:

* Identify where Kaligo fits best in the timetable
* Share responsibility for assigning lessons
* Align usage across year groups

**Tip:** Start small, then scale. Work with colleagues to test what works before rolling it out more widely.


### 4. Integrate Kaligo Into Learning Stations

Kaligo became part of a structured classroom setup with different activity stations:

* A dedicated Kaligo station for handwriting and fine motor skills
* Teacher-led guided reading groups
* Independent practice areas (digital and paper-based)

**Tip:** Use Kaligo as one station within a rotation model. This keeps students engaged while allowing for differentiated learning.


### 5. Leverage Pre-Made Lessons

Teachers used Kaligo’s lesson library to save time:

* One teacher assigned phonics lessons for the whole year group
* Lessons were reused consistently across classes
* Students practiced daily with minimal setup

**Tip:** Use ready-made content to reduce planning time and ensure consistency.


### 6. Support Independent and Differentiated Learning

Kaligo was used flexibly depending on student needs:

* Some students practiced spellings digitally
* Others alternated with traditional pencil-and-paper tasks
* Teaching assistants supported phonics and handwriting alongside the app

**Tip:** Combine digital and traditional methods to support different learning styles.
