Students need to be able to understand language and become fluent in reading, writing and speaking. To do this, first you focus on tools to improve fluency, fluidity and reading comprehension.
Tools for Fluency and Fluidity
Use a combination of audio tools. The most basic and easiest to access tools are any of your audio recorders on your PC, Mac, Chromebook or other mobile device. You can also use the free Audacity software or use a web-based tool like Vocaroo or Online Voice Recorder.
