Texthelp Systems has recently announced the launch of Fluency Tutor, their latest innovative software to improve oral reading skills. Fluency Tutor is an online tool which helps develop oral reading fluency for early learners.
Children as young as five years old can log on to Fluency Tutor at school or at home and practise their reading. The software allows the child to listen to passages being read aloud before they record themselves reading and submit assessments to their teacher for marking. Fluency Tutor provides feedback to the student through a series of easy to understand graphical displays.
Fluency Tutor also benefits teachers through the provision of an innovative method of developing and assessing the oral reading fluency levels of their class. The software allows teachers to select the right text difficulty level of exercises for each pupil and to monitor a reading running record of their progress . Teachers can evaluate the fluency errors made, words correct per minute score and level of prosody (expression of reading) for every pupil using Fluency Tutor.
Mark McCusker, CEO, Texthelp Systems comments “The development of Fluency Tutor is based upon the Reading Fluency cycle of Practise, Assessment and Instruction, which are proven methods of learning. Fluency Tutor is the first truly web based technology for developing fluency allowing access both in school and at home.“
Fluency Tutor delivers significant fluency gains for students and also facilitates the provision of targeted individualised instruction. The software has been designed to be fun to use and will provide motivation to improve oral reading skills.
