Fluency Tutor for Google

Easy to use with a sleek new look, our software allows students to record themselves reading and then share that content with their teacher - away from the pressures of reading aloud in the classroom environment.

​

Ideal for schools using Google Apps for Education (GAFE), this friendly Chrome app integrates seamlessly with Google Drive and Classroom. And since it works with any online content, it's the perfect complement to other existing teacher approaches.
