This past week I learned about a resource called Literably. This would be a great tool to use to assess a student's ability to read aloud. Below is a video that explains how it can be used: Now this website is very easy to use. All you have to do is set up your teacher account, add your students, set their reading level (this is a great way to use those MAP scores!), and then you can send your students to the Literably page and tell them to log in as a student. Then they use your username to enter (no password necessary!) and they find their name. I'm unsure if I will use this with all my students since the highest reading level is 1200 (8th grade), but I do think it would be a good tool to use for some students to hear themselves reading. Often times there are students who lack expression or struggle with pronunciation so this would be a great tool to help them (and you) find those trouble areas. If you're looking for another resources to boost literacy levels, Literably may be the one for you. Check it out and let me know what you think of it. If I end up using it, I'll let you know how it goes for me.
Cheers, Lesley
