This session will overview the Microsoft Reading Progress app in Microsoft Teams as well as the web-based Microsoft Reading Coach. Reading Progress is a free tool that allows educators to assign reading fluency passages that students can independently record themselves reading out loud. Educators can review the audio and video with AI-assisted help and gather insights automatically on student progress. This session will overview the many features of Reading Progress, including some of its newest features, such as Reading Coach, which helps students with words they struggled with, and Expression, which helps students get feedback on improving reading aloud with expression.
Reading Coach for the Web is aimed at a broader audience, including individual learners who want to improve their reading skills, educators looking for supplemental resources, and even parents supporting their children's reading development. It offers AI created stories based on requested topics, reading as well as the ability to review struggled with words and more.
