No red marks while a child reads aloud. On purpose.

by•

When a child reads a paper book aloud to StoryFox, the screen shows only a timer. No live error marks, no stopping mid-sentence. Speed, expression and skipped pages show up afterwards, in the report.

We went back and forth on this. A word flagged in red the moment it's misread feels helpful to an adult. To a 7-year-old reading out loud, it can feel like being graded mid-sentence, and the next page gets quieter.

Parents and teachers: when your child misreads a word aloud, do you correct it right away, or wait until the end of the page?
