Local data: Fluency Coach stores class data in this browser. Export a regular JSON backup, especially before changing device or clearing browser data.

Passage Library

Browse assessment and practice texts. Filters and metadata help the teacher choose an appropriate, unseen passage.

Assessment note: “Matched set” means the texts have been deliberately designed to be broadly similar in year, length and challenge. They have not been statistically equated or standardised.

Pupil Progress

Track repeated assessments, targets, practice and response to intervention. Charts use the current academic-year cycle; full history remains below.

Add a pupil and complete an assessment to begin tracking progress.

Automatic pathway: each academic year begins with a valid, comparable Benchmark. Interrupted Benchmarks do not lock the cycle. Later checks continue to 2 minutes, with a 60-second checkpoint used for comparable CWPM trends. Other settings can still be changed manually.

Passage

The teacher can keep this passage in view while using the live marking panel beside it. Click a word, then immediately classify the reading behaviour on the right.
Left-click a word to cycle forward through reading behaviours. Right-click to cycle backwards. When time finishes, choose Set last word read and click the final word reached.

Counted errors: mispronunciations, omissions, substitutions and hesitations over 3 seconds. Repetitions, insertions and self-corrections are recorded separately.

Timing rule: CWPM uses the actual timed reading duration. If the pupil reaches the end before time expires, choose Finished passage. Interrupted assessments remain in history but are excluded from progress trends.

Prosody & Understanding

Use the descriptors to judge what the child demonstrates across most of the reading, rather than their best single sentence.

Emerging

Developing

Expression & volume

Does the voice communicate meaning and remain audible?

Phrasing

Does the child group words into meaningful phrases?

Smoothness

Does the reading flow without frequent stops, restarts or breakdowns?

Pace

Is the pace natural and supportive of meaning rather than simply fast?

Understanding

Uses two passage-specific comprehension questions rather than an unexplained overall judgement.

The prosody judgement descriptors are classroom planning descriptors. They are not a standardised assessment scale and should be interpreted alongside professional judgement.
