![A set of open quotes.]()
I am a huge data person. With Reading Progress, I pull the data in as fast as I can, and I hold the students accountable. When they read a passage, I can pull up their results—how many words there were in the text, how many words they read per minute, how many words they mispronounced, how many they repeated and so forth. I can hear them, they can hear themselves, and this has been a huge help.
