There are various definitions of reading fluency, but we think of it as the ability to read text accurately, quickly, and with appropriate expression.

Oral Reading Fluency is one of several critical measures of how well a student is reading. It usually involves three factors: speed, accuracy, and expression. Oral reading fluency is usually measured via a one-minute read aloud of a level appropriate text. 

Read Seed is assessment, practice, and progress monitoring for readers. Even if your school doesn’t collect data on students’ oral reading performance, it can still be useful for identifying reading problems and ensuring that struggling readers get the help they need. Read Seed also includes comprehension questions to assess their understanding of the text.

Read Seed comes with a wide selection of level appropriate texts.

It’s possible for us to create Read Seed activities from  texts and questions supplied by teachers. Contact us at contact@readseed.org for more details.

All Read Seed activities are capable of being auto-graded, so the teachers can focus on other things. It’s also possible to check results manually and override grades if necessary.

It takes Read Seed a couple of minutes to provide oral reading fluency scores for a student’s recording. Comprehension questions are assessed in real time, and students are provided with immediate feedback concerning whether or not their answers are correct.

Yes. Read Seed can be accessed from your LMS (e.g., Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas) through learning tool interoperability. 

Extra reading practice is particularly beneficial for ELL and LEP students. If the grade level readings prove too difficult, just select texts from a lower level.

Carefully tracking the reading progress of special education students is very important. However, conducting traditional pen and paper testing is difficult and time-consuming. Read Seed can help by enabling all learners to take the test at the same time, and our AI technology saves teachers countless hours of grading.
