Read the story above, then talk it over with your Reading Coach â this is about what the story means and what you would do, not a quiz on what happened. Type, or tap the mic to speak. Stuck on a line? Tap it to hear just that part.
Off by default. A teacher turns this on when they want a visible session timer and a timestamped record of how long the work took.
Assign these questions
A teacher or a parent picks the story and assigns its questions â one chapter at a time, not a whole book.
What was saved
This is the real conversation from this device â a teacher would read it, and hear it read back.
