Element Fourteen Sign in to PAWS Reader

Tools for teachers, built in a real classroom.

Element Fourteen makes small, practical tools for teachers. Our first, PAWS Reader, plans a week of reading groups without storing a single student’s name.

PAWS Reader plans the week’s reading groups.

Teachers run six colour-named groups, each at its own AR book level. PAWS keeps track of which books each group has read, suggests what comes next, and turns planning the week into the reading log.

It suggests the right next book.

Set a group’s level and PAWS lists the unread books just above it, along with the shelf each one lives on. Books the group has read drop out, so nobody reads the same book twice by accident.

Planning is the reading log.

Pick a book for a group and a day, and that’s the record. There’s no second list to keep up. Plans move when a day falls through, and every pick, move and removal can be undone.

It works on school machines.

PAWS runs in an ordinary browser on locked-down district computers, with nothing to install. If the Wi-Fi drops, your changes wait and save when it comes back.

Groups, not students.

PAWS tracks six reading groups named for colours. It never asks for a child’s name, so there’s no student data to store, share or lose, and nothing about a student for your district to review.

What PAWS keeps

  • Your email address, to send your sign-in link
  • Your book list: titles, levels, quiz numbers and shelves
  • Each group’s level and suggestion range
  • Which book each group read, and on which day

What it never asks for

  • Student names or ID numbers
  • Grades, scores or quiz results
  • Which student is in which group
  • Anything else about a child

Every teacher’s account is separate. No one else sees your books or plans.

A small company that starts in the classroom.

Element Fourteen is small and independent. PAWS Reader began in one elementary classroom, to answer a question that teacher asked every day: which books at this level hasn’t this group read yet?

That classroom has shaped every version since. Future tools will start the same way: from a real teacher’s week, built to run on school computers, and with student data left out.

Why “Element Fourteen”? Silicon is element 14. It’s in the chips inside every classroom computer, and in sand, glass and opal.

Say hello.
