The App is available for purchase through iTunes. Visit the link of this App on iTunes for more description.

**A discussion of what types of students would benefit from using the technology **

All students who have the ability to speak would benefit from using this technology. The student can record and listen to themselves reading. Teachers can collect samples of students’ reading fluency and analyze progress over time.

**A process for selecting the technology as an appropriate AT solution **

If the student’s IEP goal is to work on Reading Fluency this app would be appropriate to them. In applying Universal Design for Learning, this App also would be beneficial for all students. Teachers would be able to have all students participate in developing Reading Fluency using this App.

**Training materials (e.g. quick start guides, tutorials, screen demonstrations, videos, etc.) that would help teams learn how to use the technology **
