Reading out loud

On our reading platform, students can record themselves reading books out loud, then listen to themselves and self-assess both their miscues and their strengths as readers. Students can also compare their recordings to the natural-voice audio narration to improve pronunciation, especially with words they haven’t seen before.

Teachers can listen to student recordings to get deeper insights into their students’ reading progress.
