Reading Progress in Microsoft Teams
What it is:Reading Progress in Teams is a free tool that allows educators to assign reading fluency passages that students can independently record themselves reading out loud. Educators can review the audio and video with AI-assisted help on reading accuracy and speed, and gather insights automatically on student progress. Reading Progress works on all platforms and devices, including PC, Mac, web, iOS and Android.
Why we like it: Improving reading fluency is very time-consuming for teachers and requires 1-on-1 assistance to students. This free tool is a game-changer as the students read and record themselves and get AI-assisted feedback individually. This is like having a teacher sitting with the student making corrections and suggestions to each student individually in real-time. The teacher dashboard is a great tool to provide teachers feedback about the most common errors so they can make whole group corrections and target specific issues. We think it’s great that it works on all platforms, and it’s free. Research demonstrates evidence of student growth.
As always, we encourage you to perform your own due diligence before making any investments.
