Running Record Apps
Record of Reading
The app provides embedded formulas for the accuracy and self-correction rate (no need for a calculator!), but of course, the teacher does all the coding and analysis. Once the running record is complete, it can be saved in a file or emailed. In addition, the app records the student’s voice while the teacher simultaneously takes the record.
RR
Simply enter the number of words read, number of errors and the number of self corrections.
RR will then feedback to you the error rate, percentage rate, self correction rate, and whether the text read is ‘easy’, ‘instructional’ or ‘hard’.

Story Monster
Story Monster is a literacy game for primary school students. This learning tool combines gameplay and storytelling to develop foundational knowledge and skills related to reading, writing and screen literacy. Story Monster can be played in the classroom and at home. Story Monster introduces knowledge and skills in a holistic and meaningful way by having players tell a short, sentence length action story in a game environment. While the game has grammar as its starting point, it incorporates wide-ranging knowledge and skills relating to narrative, film language and design, videogames, game play and ICT
