    Fluency Tutor - Texthelp Systems, Inc.

    Fluency Tutor helps develop reading fluency and improve comprehension. The research-based software not only helps early readers but has also been proven to be highly successful when used as a reading intervention for older struggling students, especially those in RTI Tiers 2 or 3, and English Language Learners.

Administrators can track and analyze student data within a school or district.

    Writing Planet - Urban Planet Mobile

    Writing Planet with Project Essay Grade (PEG) recognizes writing fluency depends on practice with personalized feedback, allowing students to correct their mistakes and build their skill set and knowledge base. Teachers often lack the time to assign and assess sufficient writing. Additionally, because writing is inter-disciplinary teachers may not possess the requisite skills to assess and help improve students’ writing. Taking into account that approximately 20% of children age 5 to 17 in the U.S. come from homes where English is not the primary language, the challenges for these students and their teachers are multiplied. Writing Planet is the only comprehensive writing program with built-in writing assessment and scoring rubrics designed specifically for English Language Learners (ELLs). Through pedagogically-focused tutorials, interactive exercises, and immediate assessment with pertinent feedback from the PEG technology, Writing Planet provides students with guided practice and the resources to improve their writing skills and knowledge. The video tutorials develop listening and reading comprehension as well as skills acquisition, making for a robust learning environment. The program incorporates a teacher-driven class portfolio providing real-time data on individual students and the class as a whole. Writing Planet is simple to deploy, working with and for teachers immediately.
