The Read Aloud feature will now allow teachers to link directly to the text they have assigned for auditory assessments.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Reading Eggs announced today a new feature that enables teachers to easily access written versions of the auditory reading assessments they give to their students through the Read Aloud assignment capability. This new feature allows educators to better understand their students' skills and weaknesses in both decoding and reading authentic texts.
The Read Aloud feature enables students to record themselves reading selected texts from a stress-free familiar environment, easing anxieties and boosting confidence and fluency. Educators can assign Read Aloud for any title in a vast digital library of more than 4,000 books and decodable readers. Educators then review students' recordings, make grades and provide valuable feedback. The new addition allows teachers to access the texts students are reading to better assess students' grasp of punctuation, tone, context and more.
"The push for this change came directly from teachers who sought an easier way to view the authentic texts their students were reading while reviewing their progress," said Allison Ireland, Director of Product at 3P Learning. "We met this request head on and immediately began working to integrate this feature into the platform. Our commitment to educators is to continuously enhance their experience on our platform by improving the user interface and addressing their feedback."
The addition comes amid ongoing debate among education thought leaders over the overall effectiveness of the Science of Reading and the idea that real-world texts and phonics-based lessons are mutually exclusive teaching methods. By allowing educators to listen to students' reading recordings and view the exact texts being read, Reading Eggs enables educators to assess progress in both decoding and authentic texts simultaneously.
Reading Eggs, which meets Level III ESSA requirements, offers an engaging learning experience based on the five pillars of reading. This approach builds foundational literacy skills crucial for early learners to become engaged, successful readers, as well as motivated students in all areas of learning. With tailored content for different age groups and skill levels, Reading Eggs creates personalized learning pathways based on students' placement test results.
