Question 1

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

School pricing is tailored to your school size and rollout plan — request a quote through the form above and we respond within 1 business day. We quote based on your student count, number of teachers, and whether you are rolling out to a single grade level, a building, or a district. That keeps pricing fair for small schools and scalable for large ones. There is no obligation — most schools start with a short conversation and a walkthrough of the platform.

Question 2

How does the 60-second assessment work?

Accepted Answer

A student reads a grade-level passage aloud for 60 seconds. AI transcribes the reading, categorizes every error, and calculates WCPM against Hasbrouck & Tindal benchmarks instantly. Teachers see words correct per minute, accuracy percentage, and an error breakdown (mispronunciations, substitutions, omissions) the moment the recording stops. Teachers can review the transcription and adjust any scoring before results are saved, so educators stay in control of the data.

Question 3

Can we use this as a DIBELS or mCLASS alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes — ReadingFluency uses the same oral reading fluency methodology and WCPM metric, with fall, winter, and spring benchmarking against Hasbrouck & Tindal norms. If your school currently screens with DIBELS, Acadience, mCLASS, aimswebPlus, or paper-based running records, ReadingFluency reports the same WCPM metric, so scores fit the progress-monitoring process you already run. Many schools run ReadingFluency alongside their current screener for one window to compare results before switching.

Question 4

How long does it take to get teachers up and running?

Accepted Answer

Most teachers run their first class screening the same day they get access — there is no training course, install, or curriculum to learn. ReadingFluency runs in the browser on the devices your school already has. Teachers add their roster, students read aloud one at a time or at a listening station, and results appear on the dashboard automatically. We support your rollout directly during onboarding.

Question 5

How is student data protected?

Accepted Answer

ReadingFluency is FERPA and COPPA aligned, uses encryption for all student data, and never sells or shares student information. Audio recordings are processed for scoring and not retained long-term. Schools keep full control of their data, including deletion at any time, and we sign data privacy agreements (DPAs) on request. No student data is ever used for advertising.

Question 6

What do students do between benchmark windows?

Accepted Answer

Skills Lab turns each student's assessment errors into targeted practice — trouble word drills, phonics activities, and modeled fluent reading they complete independently. Every word a student misses becomes a personalized flashcard drill, and phonics activities target their weak decoding patterns. Students practice on their own while teachers run small groups, and growth charts show progress from baseline through each benchmark.

Question 7

What happens after we request pricing?

Accepted Answer

We reply within 1 business day with pricing tailored to your school, and can schedule a walkthrough with your team if you would like one. Tell us your student count, teacher count, and timeline in the form. We come back with a quote matched to your rollout — whether that is one grade level this semester or a building-wide launch next school year. From there you decide the pace; there is no commitment to request a quote.
