Clear, practical resources for assessing and supporting student reading fluency. Filter by what you need and who you are.
Practical guides to assessing reading fluency, choosing tools, and planning intervention.
Oral reading fluency, WCPM, progress monitoring, and AI scoring a teacher can check.
A practical guide to Chinese ORF screening for immersion programs: a sample passage with pinyin, how to mark a miscue on a character, characters correct per minute, local norms, and partner-language screening under state reading laws, with Minnesota as a worked example.
AI oral reading fluency assessment can speed up scoring, but teachers should still verify miscues, WCPM, recording quality, language fit, and instructional notes before using the result.
Automatic WCPM scoring can save teachers time, but it still depends on passage matching, recording quality, miscue rules, and teacher verification.
A practical guide to building a reading fluency tracker that helps teachers log WCPM, reading accuracy, short notes, and growth over time without drowning in paper notes or spreadsheets.
A practical guide to implementing MTSS and RTI for reading, with clear tier workflows, progress-monitoring guidance, and a modern fluency workflow that changes what teams can do in a school week.
Five evidence-aligned ways AI can support oral reading fluency, from faster progress monitoring to adaptive practice and comprehension scaffolds.
A practical guide to oral reading fluency assessment for teachers who need clear steps, realistic benchmark guidance, and a workflow they can actually sustain across the year.
Alternatives to DIBELS, i-Ready, and running records, and how fluency software compares.
An AI reading fluency tracker can speed up scoring and progress monitoring, while a manual tracker gives maximum control. Most classrooms need a hybrid workflow.
A practical guide to choosing oral reading fluency assessment software, including which tools fit broad literacy screening, classic CBM progress monitoring, fluency practice, or a more modern ORF workflow.
Running records can still offer qualitative insight, but many schools are rethinking them for screening, leveling, and routine progress monitoring.
A practical guide for schools comparing i-Ready with a lighter oral reading fluency workflow built for faster benchmarking and cleaner progress monitoring.
A practical guide to DIBELS alternatives for teams deciding between CBM-style screeners, adaptive assessments, broader MTSS platforms, and faster oral reading fluency workflows.
UFLI, Orton-Gillingham, and intervention programs, and how they fit with assessment.
Orton-Gillingham is an instructional approach, not a single curriculum. This guide explains how traditional OG differs from OG-based programs and why that distinction matters in real schools.
A practical side-by-side look at Wilson, UFLI, and SPIRE for schools choosing between intensive dyslexia intervention, core structured literacy, and packaged small-group support.
A practical guide to choosing a knowledge-building ELA companion for UFLI so foundational skills, comprehension, vocabulary, and writing work as one literacy system.
A simple explanation of why UFLI and DIBELS are not direct substitutes: one teaches foundational skills and the other measures reading performance.
A clear guide to what UFLI Foundations is, where it fits in K-2 and intervention, what it teaches well, and what it does not replace.

Set up ReadingFluency.app step by step, from your first passage to reports.
Use the sidebar to move between Dashboard, Students, Passages, Reports, Subscription, workspace controls, account settings, support, theme settings, and workspace credit details.
Create passages with AI or manual entry, import a PDF, photo, CSV, or pasted text, export, print, and organize passages into reusable collections.
Drop a PDF, photo, CSV, or pasted text onto New Passage Import, review and edit each passage (including already-in-library flags), then print paper copies with running word counts.
Turn any passage collection into a link. Colleagues preview the passages and copy them into their own library without getting access to your workspace.
Set up the student side of ReadingFluency.app with one Add Student dialog for adding one or importing many, a review step, roster groups, bulk archive and delete, and student progress history.
Start a student read, choose timed or open-ended mode, mark miscues, review AI-assisted scoring, and keep teacher notes with the assessment report.
Use live group sessions when students should complete assigned readings from their own devices while the teacher monitors the roster and reviews results.
Use Reports to review student fluency trends, group goals, WCPM and accuracy views, distribution charts, percentile bands, ROI, and goal gaps.
What changed in ReadingFluency.app, month by month.
Summer was our busiest build season yet. Import passages from PDFs and photos, import rosters from spreadsheets, share collections by link, archive last year's students in bulk, and get instant reports that never lose a recording. Plus a back-to-school credit extension and our new Educator Advisor program.
We spent June building tutorials and refining Reports, roster groups, passage editing, and Chinese fluency defaults so teachers can understand and use ReadingFluency.app faster.
ReadingFluency.app now includes passage collections, roster groups with goals, Reports for student progress trends, and an updated getting-started guide with fresh screenshots.
ReadingFluency.app now includes shared workspaces for subscribers, a new credit-based model with signup bonus credits, simpler Teacher Plus pricing, a redesigned group-session setup flow, and faster inline filters across the app.
