READ WITH ME FLUENCY APP

I love the potential of this app! Give it a go. It's a winner in my book!

                                                                             ****Please check back in a few days and update

"Many in educational fields have hungered for a system that would actually decrease the work load required for assessment, and it looks like it’s finally here." -BestAppsForKids.com


Read With Me Fluency is the new iPad version of the award-winning online reading fluency assessment app, Read With Me. Now you can conduct oral fluency reading assessments, or running records in a faster, less-painful way. No more timers, paper, calculators or binders full of testing materials

 Import your own digital texts or take advantage of our own leveled library of passages aligned to the Lexile® Framework. 

Monitor your child or whole class of students' reading progress in terms of accuracy, fluency and benchmark goals. 
Great for teachers who already have their own program, or for new teachers looking for a new, faster way to stay on top of their students' fluency. Used by reading specialists, resource educators, parents, and K-8 teachers . 

Video recording for your running records:

This iPad app takes the web version further by taking advantage of the front-facing camera to record a video session of the student reading a text you assign. By syncing two iPads via the web, you can use your iPad to save the recordings and view them with the student conferences, or for later scoring. Generate quick reports for student to review and track own progress.
