Free for the summer: Reading Fluency tutor
Exciting news! I just heard from Alice Keeler that Fluency Tutor will be free for a limited time. If you don't know what Fluency tutor is, check this video here.
From Alice's Blogpost:
Free for the Summer
For those that aren’t familiar, Fluency Tutor® for Google™ is a Google Chrome app that helps make reading aloud less stressful and more fun for students who need some extra support. It’s a big time saver for teachers, and great for struggling readers and English Language Learners.
Designed for schools using Google Apps for Education (GAFE), the app allows students to record themselves reading and share it with their teacher – away from the pressures of reading aloud in the classroom.
To use, teachers simply share content they would like students to practice reading (or allow students to choose content independently), then provide feedback at a time that’s convenient for them.
Texthelp, makers of Fluency Tutor for Google, are giving away Premium access to the app for free through August 2016 in hopes that it will help teachers encourage students to keep reading over the summer. The Premium version (normally $99/year) includes access to features such as downloadable analytic reports, advanced scoring metrics, and the ability to give students feedback on their reading.
