Read Along in Google Classroom is now available to all education users to support foundational literacy

Read Along in Google Classroom, an AI-powered literacy tool that provides in-the-moment support to students as they read aloud, is now available to all Google Workspace for Education users at no cost. We believe this will open access to literacy tools for millions of students, and help educators and education leaders achieve better learning outcomes and progress on foundational literacy.

Read Along is designed to build students' speaking, listening, and decoding skills. It offers flexible learning modes, allowing students to practice aloud with real-time feedback, listen to stories, or enjoy books independently. To help emerging students transition from simply "learning to read" to "reading to learn," Read Along includes questions directly in the material to continuously strengthen comprehension as well as decoding support through word-breakdown.

Educators can use Read Along in Google Classroom to provide personalized reading practice for every student. The insights dashboard showing individual student and class-wide progress can help inform instruction and make it easier to create tailored reading activities based on student needs.

With this update, all Google Workspace for Education users will have access to:

A tailored reading experience in Google Classroom: Educators can easily create interactive reading activities right within Classroom, giving students in-the-moment support while getting actionable insights related to their reading skills.
Real-time reading support: Learners get help with pronunciation as they read aloud and get word breakdown support.
Class and student insights to inform instruction: View information on accuracy, speed, comprehension, phonics skills, and progress for individual students and the entire class.
An extensive content library: Choose from over hundreds of books across eight languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Thai, Indonesian, and Malay. This includes content such as Heggerty decodables, ReadWorks articles for higher-grade learners, and localized publisher titles like Turma da Mônica in Brazil.
Multilingual support: For students learning English, the reading buddy can provide real-time support in both English and their native language so they can practice their vocabulary. Native language support is available in Spanish, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Indonesian, and Malay.
Story creation with Gemini: With help from Gemini, educators can create differentiated reading activities tailored to phonics skills needing practice, specific topics, and reading levels.
Existing content: Add existing class content to better tailor real-time student support and insights with Read Along.

Advanced analytics, like viewing student’s progress over time or across assignments and the ability to extract data via BigQuery, are only available with Education Plus and Teaching & Learning add-on.

Getting started

Admins: Read Along will be available by default and can be disabled at the domain and OU level. It can be enabled at the group level even if it is disabled at the OU level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Read Along on or off for users.
