Run a 1:1 Oral Reading Fluency Assessment
Learn how to start a 1:1 oral reading fluency assessment, adjust reading settings, mark miscues, run AI analysis, review the score, and share or delete an assessment.
A 1:1 oral reading fluency assessment is the core ReadingFluency.app workflow. A student reads a passage aloud, you mark miscues or run AI-assisted analysis, and the result becomes part of the student's reading record.
Start a 1:1 assessment
- Open a passage.
- Click Read Passage or Read for 1m.
- Use the mode controls to choose open-ended or timed reading.
- Use the display settings to adjust text size, font, and spacing.
- Click Start.
- As the student reads, tap words to mark errors:
- first click: mispronounced
- second click: skipped
- third click: reset to correct
- Click Stop & Finish.
- Assign the result to a student if needed.
Use AI analysis and teacher review
If audio was recorded, click Run AI analysis to score the assessment automatically.
After analysis, the report shows:
- accuracy and fluency score
- words correct per minute
- AI-marked miscues
- feedback summary
- teacher notes
Teachers can still edit marks manually. Manual marks override AI marks and update the score.
Add a short teacher note
Do not leave the number alone when a student needs follow-up. A short note often makes the assessment more useful later:
- accurate but choppy
- slow on multisyllabic words
- strong rate, weak retell
- skipped line after visual tracking issue
- needs decoding follow-up
Those notes help you interpret the score when you return to the student history or discuss progress with a team.
Share or delete an assessment
- Open the assessment report.
- Use Share to create a secure parent or collaborator link.
- Use the report action menu to delete audio or delete the entire assessment.
