Mike Tholfsen Group Product Manager Microsoft EDUNow generally available: new educator features in the AI-powered Reading Coach
Just in time for applications to open for the 2025-2026 cohort of MIE Experts, we are thrilled to announce the general availability of new educator features in Reading Coach. These new features address our top educator requests, making it easier to guide learner practice by sharing custom passages, setting time goals for learner-led practice, and monitoring practice data over time. You can find detailed instructions for creating your first practices here, or take the updated Reading Coach module on MSLearn. Read on for an overview! As a reminder, Reading Coach is a FREE reading fluency application that provides personalized, engaging practice with safeguarded one-of-a-kind AI generated stories that keeps even the most reluctant readers coming back. Create and share practices Whether you want to set a time goal for independent, learner-led reading (they can choose to read anything in the app, including AI-generated stories), share a custom passage, or select an existing one from the built-in ReadWorks library, Reading Coach makes it easy to tailor practices to your learners’ needs. Learners then join the practice with a simple link or code. Monitor learner progress With the new Teacher mode, educators can monitor learner progress per practice and over time. You can track progress toward a time goal or completion status of a shared passage, average correct words per minute, and average reading accuracy. This data helps you understand how your students are progressing and where you might want to support. Requirements To access these features, educators and learners must have Microsoft Entra ID (School) accounts and belong to the same Microsoft 365 tenant. While Reading Coach is also available at home with personal Microsoft accounts, these educator features require a school account. We are so excited to see how you use these new features to create new and engaging reading practice opportunities for your learners. Stay in touch!
