Practise My Reading
Fluency Tutor has a practise area where pupils practise their
reading. By listening to exercises being read aloud and then
recording themselves reading, pupils reinforce their learning. The
comprehension quiz questions test whether pupils have understood
what they are reading.
Measure my Reading
Pupils record themselves reading exercises that have been
assigned by their teacher. They complete a quiz, testing their
comprehension levels and submit both to their teacher for marking.
Through this process, pupils take ownership of their reading
improvement.
How did I do?
Pupils view their teacher-marked assessments in this section.
Errors are recorded in red and the teacher will have provided a
prosody (expression) score, quiz score, WCPM (words correct per
minute) score and any other notes. Pupils listen again to their
recording and access the coaching window that provides details on
any errors made.
See my Progress
Pupils view a graphical representation of their reading progress
over time. The graphs display their reading speed, prosody and quiz
scores. The pupil's target reading speed will also be displayed for
measurability. This section is very rewarding for the pupil as it
tracks the progress they have made.
Benefits to Pupils include:
- Improved reading speed, accuracy and comprehension
- Greater motivation and self-confidence
- Development of independent learning
- Greater interest and enjoyment in reading
