EZPZ Reading Assessment

Reading Assessment Platform

Product Information & Capability Overview

Overview

EZPZ Reading Assessment is a purpose-built platform that transforms how primary schools assess, track, and respond to every student's reading development. By combining AI-powered speech-to-text transcription, word-by-word accuracy scoring, and established oral reading fluency (ORF) benchmark methodologies, EZPZ gives teachers instant, actionable insight into each child's reading — without the hours of manual scoring and data entry that traditional assessment demands.

For school leadership, EZPZ delivers enterprise-grade security, full audit logging, strict school-level data isolation, and a complete compliance documentation suite — including DPIA templates, parent letters, and IT integration guides. Built on a SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified platform with support for WASN (Western Australian Student Number), Compass SIS integration, and Microsoft 365 SSO, EZPZ is ready for deployment across single schools or entire districts from day one.
