Reading with Expression
What’s new?
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.
How can turn this feature on?
- Toggle Auto-detect to On when reviewing the returned assignment. Estimated errors will appear already marked and categorized on the passage and in the overview cards.
- Press Play on the student’s recording to hear them read the passage.
- Select any word you want to adjust. You can recategorize errors, mark additional mistakes, or choose Mark as correct as needed. The collected data will retabulate as you make adjustments.
- To go directly to any word, select it in the passage and choose Jump to word from the drop-down menu.
- If Auto-detect isn’t interpreting your student well, try adjusting Pronunciation sensitivity to change how carefully Auto-detect is when listening and estimating errors.
