Why reading fluency matters
Reading fluency is one of the five essential pillars of reading success.
It's not just the ability to recognise words but also reading with speed, accuracy and prosody (the natural rhythm, intonation and expression of speech).
Fluent readers comprehend text more effectively, leading to improved overall literacy skills.
HEAR the difference: How Read Aloud Fluency works
The Read Aloud Fluency feature allows you to seamlessly assess, monitor and improve your students' fluency skills with just a few clicks.
Here's how Read Aloud Fluency works:
Effortless assignment: Teachers can assign a read-aloud activity, either a book or a chapter, via ABC Reading Eggspress assignments or the Teacher Library. Keep reading for a step-by-step tutorial.
Pressure-free recording: Students record themselves reading for one minute in a stress-free environment of their choice. To alleviate performance anxiety and ensure confidence and accuracy, they have three attempts. If students encounter microphone or file submission issues, they'll have the opportunity to switch to a device with a working microphone and try again later.
Convenient assessment: Teachers can then remotely listen to these recordings, assess fluency and provide personalised, constructive feedback on student performance.
Valuable insights: Dive deeper with comprehensive reports showcasing improvements over time. These reports, tailored to Lexile standards, provide a holistic view of each student's growth.
Please note: For effective Read Aloud Fluency reporting, teachers must input their feedback—such as scores, words per minute and comments—into the system. Additionally, this feature requires students to have access to a microphone and to grant permission for microphone use.
