What TurtleHurdle does for struggling readers
Paste any passage
From decodable readers, levelled texts, content-area passages, or any reading material you already use. No proprietary content library required.
AI voice reads it aloud
A natural AI voice narrates the passage with precise word-by-word timing. Eight voices available including child and adult voices.
Karaoke-style video generated
Each word highlights exactly as it is spoken — the same visual tracking technique used in evidence-based fluency intervention programs.
Students watch and read along
Videos upload directly to YouTube where speed controls (0.25x to 2x) allow graduated fluency practice — exactly the Repeated Reading protocol.
- Teacher dashboard — manage multiple students
- Progress tracking — words per minute over time
- Classroom mode — students access via class code
- Bulk video generation — upload a whole reading list
- No watermark on student videos
- IEP-ready progress reports
- Google Workspace for Education SSO
- FERPA compliant data handling
“A fifteen-year-old reading at Grade 2 level does not need babyish content. TurtleHurdle works with any text — so teachers can use age-appropriate passages at the right reading level.”
