Students will:
  • Preview and read silently
  • Listen to a model reading of the text
  • Answer guided reading questions
Using research-validated speech verification technology, Reading Assistant "listens" to a student as he or she reads aloud. Monitoring for signs of difficulty, the program intervenes with assistance when the student is challenged by a word. Students re-read passages several times to build automaticity. Students are assessed to determine their level of comprehension by skill.
The software maintains careful performance records and the corresponding audio of each guided reading session for review by student and teacher. The program computes the student's Words Correct Per Minute automatically.
