Wow, what a great idea! I think it’s incredible how you were able to research and recognize an issue your students were having, invent a way to make learning easier and more entertaining, and then watch your idea come to life.

It’s exciting to dream up something and then see it come to fruition. From iTunes, play back for students, parents, and coaches or add to iPod and/or burn to CD.įluency Timer is available only for Macintosh computers (not for iOS devices at this time). Timer counts down and automatically stops after 60 seconds.Ĥ. You can easily share recordings with parents coaches, administrators, and students themselves via the computer, an iPod, a CD, or a web site.ġ. and to keep a record of how students have read throughout the year with automatic time and date stamping. In addition to providing an instant independent work time activity, teachers can use it when assessing students to review student reading to complete running records, DIBELS assessments, etc. It has made reading fluency into a game so that it’s no longer tedious to practice. They ask me if they can reread the same passages over again to try and read them better. After the initial novelty of hearing their own voices played through the computer wears off, students study the reading passage while listening and start to become cognizant of their mistakes. In my own classroom I have been having students read their daily reading passages into the computer and then playing it back and having them listen to themselves reading. There are other voice recorders that exist but none have an integrated timer and all are too complicated for me to quickly teach students to use. Research has shown that having students listen to themselves reading will increase reading fluency over time. įluency Timer is both a timer and a recorder that records students’ one minute fluency readings.
