Safety

I think it allows a safe platform for students who struggle to practice and build competency without the fear of doing that in front of their peers. For many of us, learning a new skill is much more comfortable in "isolation" rather than with an audience.

The most beneficial I found was that ability to have students record their reading. That way as a teacher you can go back to see what kids need at your own time and not using instruction time to do this. It gives you more time to analyze your data. It also helps struggling readers so they can listen back to see what they need to work on which in the end will have students grow more.

I like that you can listen to the student read through video so that you can relisten as needed, which you can't do when reading 1:1. I also like that the student can hear their own reading.

Recording audio OR video

I like that you can opt to just record audio. Many students are not comfortable being on video, and this helps those students who are less comfortable be able to participate.

Tracking

I like how you can track student progress overtime. See class trends and level reading passages.

I like how as the teacher you can see individual student progress as well as class trends. It seems like a safe space for students to try their best without feeling like they are being put on the spot for all their peers to see.

I like how you can not only track words per minute and accuracy, but that you can actually see and hear the errors that they are making. Error analysis can help tease out instructional needs, such as possible phonics weaknesses.

I like that you can have students record a video or just audio for those uncomfortable being on video. Student may enjoy hearing themselves reading after they record, it may help students recognize the need for more inflection and fluency. I also love that you can track individual student data.
