SkillCheck: Automatic Early Reading Diagnosis and Intervention
In a prior SBIR project, the team developed Moby.Read, a tablet-based speech recognition app for grade school students to self-administer oral-reading fluency assessments. In this project, the team will fully develop a component that uses natural language processing to assess and then recommend specific activities to improve oral reading. Significant reading problems must be detected and addressed early to keep all students on track. However, in-person oral reading fluency assessments are ti...

Moby.Read: Automated Basic Reading Assessment
The team fully developed and tested Moby.Read, a tablet-based oral reading fluency assessment. Reading out loud is a foundational skill for students in grades 1 to 5 and is included in state learning standards. In early grades, oral reading fluency assessments are often used to place students, monitor progress, and guide teaching. However, traditional oral reading fluency assessment is time-intensive for teachers, and the assessments typically include several sources of uncontrolled variance...

Automated Basic Reading Assessment
Through a 2014 contract from the NAEP program at the National Center for Education Statistics and during Phase I (completed in 2016), the team developed a prototype of Moby.Read, a tablet-based app where grade school students read a passage aloud and the speech-recognition software generates an assessment of oral-reading fluency in real-time.
