The Read Aloud assignment helps you improve your pronunciation, intonation, and fluency by reading a short passage and receiving instant feedback. Follow these steps to complete your assignment.
1. Open your assignment
From home, open your assignments and choose the Read Aloud your teacher assigned. If your teacher included several read-aloud parts in one assignment, complete each part in order.
2. Listen to the model (when available)
Before you record, listen to the model reading so you know the pacing and tone. Use the on-screen audio control provided for the passage.
You can control the speed of the model audio from 0.6× to 1.1× to match the pacing you need.
After you listen, tap the microphone to record. Wait until the button turns green, then start reading aloud.
3. Record your reading
When you are ready, tap the Microphone (or record control).
Wait until the button turns green before you start speaking—there is often a short delay.
Read the passage clearly. You may see a waveform as you speak.
When you are finished, tap Stop or Submit when the app prompts you.
4. Review your results
You’ll see an overall score for your reading (based on pronunciation, intonation, and fluency), with highlights on words or segments to improve. Tap highlighted items where supported for detailed feedback.
Your school may configure how scores are displayed.
If you want to improve your score, you can tap Try Again to re-record where supported.
If Read Aloud fails to save recording
Error:
"Internal Error" appears when finishing recording in Read Aloud.
Reason:
There was an error processing the recording.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
| Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| The recording was too short (less than 3 seconds). | Follow the text and speak longer. Do not stop recording before completing the text. |
| The text passage contains punctuations or symbols that our system do not recognize. | In the admin dashboard, remove all other punctuations or symbols other than commas and fullstops to see if error goes away after re-assigning the assignment. |
| There was trouble connecting to the server. | Log out and login again. Try again at a different time. |
