When using Reading Progress on Teams the following considerations should be noted:

Use in conjunction with other reading assessments.
Do not use for summative assessment.
Listen/watch the student recordings, rather than just getting the generated data.
Adjust the pronunciation sensitivity settings to allow for the varying accents of our learners.
Only upload own passages that teachers have carefully selected for students.
Students will need to record in a quiet location without background noise.
