The challenge
Assessment shouldn’t slow teachers down
SightSteps was shaped around the daily reality of early childhood classrooms, where assessment needs to be accurate, practical, and fast enough to use consistently.
Paper-based assessments take too long to manage during a busy school day.
Re-entering scores later wastes teacher time and breaks classroom flow.
Tracking growth across grading periods is difficult when data lives in multiple places.
Building family-ready reports manually creates extra work at the end of each window.
The solution
Built for real classrooms
Every part of SightSteps is designed around the classroom benefit, not just the software feature.
Live assessment tracking
Guide the assessment with a child in front of you and keep the flow focused on the classroom interaction, not on paperwork.
One-tap teacher scoring
Quick scoring controls make it easy to mark correct or incorrect responses while the moment is still fresh.
Instant data capture
Responses are stored immediately, so teachers do not have to rebuild assessment notes later.
Printable family-ready reports
Prepare clear progress reports that are easier to print, share, and explain to families.
Flexible grading periods
Use BOY, MOY, EOY, quarter-based, or custom reporting windows that match your school's real process.
Consistent progress monitoring
Track assessment history across the year without flattening the story of student growth.

Our story
Why we created SightSteps
SightSteps was created by El Roi Digital after seeing firsthand the day-to-day assessment burden in a Pre-K classroom. With more than 30 years of teaching experience, Michael's mother helped reveal how much time teachers lose to manual tracking, repeated data entry, and report preparation. SightSteps was built to make assessment more immediate, organized, and easier to use in real classrooms.
This product came from seeing a real classroom need up close, not from guessing what teachers might want. The goal has always been practical: help teachers enter assessment data immediately, stay organized throughout the year, and make reporting easier to prepare and print.
