Reading momentum
Fluency connects reading with understanding
Reading fluency is more than moving quickly through text. Pupils need enough confidence and automaticity to focus on meaning rather than using all their attention to recognise individual words.
StoryBlast supports regular practice through a focused digital experience. Speed Mode allows pupils to follow text at a controlled pace, helping them maintain momentum through a passage.
Understanding
Check what pupils understood
After reading, pupils complete questions covering retrieval, inference and vocabulary. Pupils receive immediate feedback while teachers can review how well the text was understood.
Connected practice
Comprehension does not develop in isolation
Spelling
Practise word patterns and spellings within a wider reading experience.
Grammar and punctuation
Correct and rebuild sentences drawn from connected language.
Sentence structure
Develop stronger understanding of syntax and sentence order.
Teacher interpretation
Information teachers can act on
The dashboard helps teachers review reading activity, comprehension performance and words pupils are finding difficult. This can support conversations, group planning and decisions about additional practice.
StoryBlast activity data should be considered alongside teacher judgement and any formal reading assessments used by the school.
