Word Builder vs Reader Meter

Build everyday words with letters and sound. Word Builder is a calm, guided word game for children aged six and up. Each activity introduces a familiar word from themes such as animals, colors, food, clothes, days of the week and things around the home. Children see the word, listen to its pronunciation and place the letters in the correct order. CHILDREN CAN EXPLORE • familiar words with clear audio • letters and their order within a word • animals, colors, food, clothes and everyday objects • helpful hints when they need support • instant feedback and a cheerful celebration for a correct answer There is no timer and no pressure. Children can play at their own pace, notice a letter in the wrong place and try again. A hint can move a letter into place when extra help is needed. Word Builder offers short, positive practice for early readers and families who enjoy calm educational play.

Your Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) app. Now you can quickly assess the accuracy and fluency of a child/student's reading with just about any book or passage. Use the camera to upload the text of choice. Make any needed edits (removing page numbers, etc.). Then listen as your student or child reads the text, marking errors as they go. When you mark the end of the reading, the app automatically calculates the accuracy and fluency. No need to pull out a timer or calculator. Connect with the web app to add students and see an error analysis to help inform your next instruction.
