Host a Live Group Reading Session

Learn how to create a live group reading session, monitor student status, add students during a session, and help students join and complete their reading.

Live group reading sessions help you collect student readings without calling every student one-by-one to the same device. The teacher hosts the session, students join with a code, and ReadingFluency.app keeps the results connected to the selected roster.
