About Literably

Literably is a website/app that records students reading aloud and then asks them comprehension questions. Literably employees listen to the recordings overnight, generate a transcript of each student's reading (that is sent back to your student's teacher to review), and calculate scores for accuracy, reading rate, and comprehension. In addition, Literably helps us understand:

  • Your student’s independent reading level = the level where they can read easily for pleasure without any (or little) assistance from the teacher.

  • Your student’s instructional reading level = the level where they can still read successfully but may need more assistance from the teacher and may, at times, feel “stretched” or challenged in their thinking.

Literably helps us to track your student's progress in reading and to identify the areas where we need to focus our instruction. It also allows us to share recordings with parents, so we may be sending you these recordings as evidence of your student's progress.
