Fri-Yay, App-Day Presents: Levelbook

Changing Your 'Life' with Levelbook!

Okay, so maybe life-changing is a small exaggeration BUT Levelbook will truly change your reading data collection, IRI, DRA, reading groups, etc. F O R E V E R! Levelbook, an app for both IOS & Android, "makes literacy testing faster and more accurate than ever before. It combines all the standard running record calculator and stopwatch functions with audio recording & playback, and stores every record for tracking student progress." (vonbruno.com)

Some of the most common headaches and stresses of a reading teacher are solved by this handy-dandy app!

Q: Have you ever been interrupted in the middle of running record by a phone call, admin question or puking child?
A: Well, guess what, Levelbook has a pause feature!

Q: Have you attended a data meeting, intervention meeting or parent conference and struggled to find the words to describe a student's fluency concerns?
A: The Levelbook app has a record feature! You can playback, save or even email the recording. (Have I mentioned life changing?)

Q: Would you like the hours of your life back that you've spent calculating Accuracy, Words per Minute & Error Rate?
A: I know I would! Levelbook automatically calculates these important aspects for you.

The positive features of this app completely outweigh the 1 teeny-tiny negative, the cost. BUT don't let that discourage you. The full app costs only $9.99 (sooooo worth it!) BONUS, there is a "lite" free version you can download if you want to just check it out and see if I'm telling the truth! Spoiler Alert! I am 100% telling the truth. #lifechanging

I know you must be dying to see the app in action! Since I can't invite you into my classroom, here is the next best thing (an informative YouTube video by the creators themselves). Click play and be prepared to be a m a z e d :)
