Tara: Reading Assessment App

TARA (Teacher's Assistant for Reading Assessment) is an innovative Chrome extension designed to simplify and enhance the assessment of early grade reading skills. It automates Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) and Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA), enabling teachers to record students' reading on level-appropriate stories. Once recordings are uploaded, TARA instantly produces detailed, student-specific report cards featuring key rubrics such as Words Correct Per Minute (WCPM), word mistakes, reading pace, and expressiveness.

Beyond individual assessments, TARA facilitates cohort benchmarking and periodic formative assessments, offering educators insights to monitor progress and tailor interventions effectively. Currently available by invitation, TARA brings efficiency and depth to foundational literacy monitoring in classrooms.
