Challenging words

Extend your students' learning by creating a rigorous assignment from the most challenging words. Depending on the filters you've used, this can be personalized and assigned to an individual student, students at a specific reading level, or the whole class. Just choose your filters then select Create challenge assignment. You'll be able to modify the assignment's parameters as you normally do in Reading Progress. Select Assign to distribute the challenge to your students. Learn more about creating a Reading Progress assignment with Insights.

Expression

Reading fluency is composed of three pillars – speed, accuracy, and expression. With our Expression update, Reading Progress will automatically identify students’ performance on aspects of prosody including monotone reading, long pauses, not pausing for a period or comma, voice inflection for question marks or exclamation points, and even the stress of multi-syllable words. Student expression results will be available in the teacher review experience, alongside accuracy and correct words per minute.

By clicking on the Insights card in the Educator Review experience, the Expression Insights data can quickly be viewed by the teacher.

Tips for taking action using your Reading Progress data report:

Supplement background knowledge:

Support student comprehension by providing additional information for passages that prove more difficult than expected. When you see a dip in accuracy rate, post a video or resource in the General channel of your class team about the content from that passage. Contextualizing new vocabulary helps all students retain new vocabulary and improves reading fluency over time.

Prioritize phonics:

A passage with lots of mispronunciations can be a valuable tool in explicitly teaching phonics. Dig into a passage with a high mispronunciation rate and identify trends in mispronunciations. Are students stuck on vowel teams or blends? Armed with that data, you can cater a whole class lesson or small group attention to develop specific phonetic recognition with your students.
