AI-powered reading intervention platform that listens at the phoneme level to deliver personalized reading support for K-12 students who struggle with reading
The view from here
LUCA: the homepage
LUCA is an intelligent reading specialist that uses phoneme-level speech recognition to identify exactly where students struggle with reading sounds. The platform analyzes skill gaps and builds personalized reading content tailored to each student's needs.
LUCA's technology includes SoundScout for phoneme-level speech recognition, Assessment Intelligence for real-time skill gap analysis, and StoryGen for generating personalized stories. The platform serves K-12 students through family plans, school pilots, and district implementations.
Founded by Scott Sosso for his son Luca, who was diagnosed with dyslexia, the product addresses the gap between expensive tutoring ($75-$150/hour) and ineffective traditional programs. LUCA is built on Science of Reading principles and has received an NSF SBIR grant and U.S. patent protection.

Questions people ask
What is LUCA?
LUCA is an intelligent reading specialist that delivers reading specialist-level support to K-12 students who struggle with reading. It uses phoneme-level speech recognition (SoundScout), analyzes skill gaps (Assessment Intelligence), and builds personalized content through AI-generated stories (StoryGen), adaptive learning paths (JourneyBuilder), and intelligent skill sequencing (Pathfinder). It is designed for struggling readers including those with dyslexia.
Who founded LUCA?
Scott Sosso, a father whose son Luca was diagnosed with dyslexia in 7th grade after years of struggling. This led Scott to collaborate with Carnegie Mellon researchers to build an intelligent reading specialist that operates at the phoneme level.
What grade levels does LUCA support?
LUCA supports K-12 students, from emergent readers through older students needing intervention. The adaptive engine adjusts complexity based on assessed skill levels to meet each reader where they are.
Can families use Education Savings Account (ESA) funds to pay for LUCA?
Yes, LUCA is approved as an ESA-eligible reading intervention provider in multiple states. Families can use their ESA funds to cover subscriptions. Check state eligibility and apply ESA funds toward LUCA on the pricing page.
Why was LUCA created?
Existing programs failed one family,and millions more. Tutoring cost $75 to $150/hour. Traditional programs were dated with zero engagement. If something effective, affordable, and engaging existed, we would have found it. It hadn't been built yet.
