Reading Progress in Teams is an app that supports students in building fluency through independent reading practice, educator review, and educator insights.
Educators can upload a single reading passage as a Teams assignment or differentiate for their students' many levels. Students read the text out loud, creating an audio and video recording that educators can assess at any time.
Creating recordings allows educators to check student progress more regularly while also freeing up time for active instruction.
