Students take ownership of their learning
“With Reading Progress students have taken ownership of their own learning, they love the fact that they can go into Reading Progress to see their own errors and click on their mistakes and listen to the word correctly. They come back a week later letting me know the words they have learned in Reading Progress!”
Angela Milversted, Elementary Instructional Coach, Chino Valley Unified School District

Reading Progress is a new, free tool in Microsoft Teams for Education designed to improve reading fluency through individualized instruction that is powerful for all learners, including second language learners and those with dyslexia, students beginning to read, and more experienced readers. With Reading Progress, educators can provide fluency practice opportunities more often with less classroom disruption. Data about student performance is automatically tracked in Education Insights – saving teachers time and helping to identify gaps in learning and guide individualized instruction.
Educators can upload a reading passage from a Word or PDF document, or quickly select sample texts provided by ReadWorks. In addition, educators or schools can create shared Teams libraries to pick from, choose from their own OneDrive, or pick a page from a OneNote Class Notebook.
During remote learning, Reading Progress is the perfect tool to gather fluency practice remotely easily and quickly. As in-person instruction returns, the tool is excellent for saving teachers time, letting students practice fluency independently and in a non-stigmatizing way, as well as providing class-level and school level insights and opportunities.
