Track Reading Progress in TEAMS
Reading Progress in Teams supports your students improving reading fluency through independent practice. Teachers can provide one reading fluency assignment for all students or differentiate for the class' differing needs. Students read out loud and record either through audio or video that teachers can review at their convenience. Reading Fluency practice can literally happen anywhere.
The program is set up with an auto-detect feature for quick reviews or teachers can manually mark errors. Data is collected in the Insights dashboard giving the teacher a visual way to see progress for individuals or the class. It provides a view of trends and data: accuracy rate, correct wpm, mispronunciations, omissions, and insertions. The program also indicates actionable insights for educators to address common challenges across the entire class or individual student.
