Istation’s digital oral reading fluency assessment is the latest time-saving educational technology from Istation. Powered by voice recognition and AI, ISIP ORF allows teachers to automatically measure oral reading fluency from digitally recorded passages for students in grades K through 5 in both English and Spanish.
