Did you know that Microsoft Teams now has a new type of assignment called Reading Progress? Assign passages to students either from your own library of passages or browse the passages provided in Teams. Students record themselves reading the passage (with or without video, your choice). Then Microsoft Teams gives you and your student feedback on words per minute and accuracy, including mispronunciations, omissions, and insertions. Save your class time to work with students on their individual literacy issues instead of having to spend time listening to students read aloud in class. Join me to learn how to use this resource to boost your students literacy skills!

This session is most beneficial for elementary ELA teachers, SPED teachers, reading interventionists, and ELL teachers.
