Is this sentence natural? I’m going to rate you after your reading.

Context: A group of students were reading some English material I gave to them. It was a bit challenging but could test their ability of understanding English words and how they read English. I woul give each of them a score after they read it.

See above. I don't know what you mean by the underlined part.
Do you mean that they had to read the piece aloud? If not, I don't see how you could give them a score if they were each just reading it to themselves silently.

Yes, they'll read the piece of story or newspaper articles aloud and I'll give them a score each based on how they pronounce, how fluent they are and tell them any mistakes. But I don't know how to say that. I used "rate" to mean something like "give them each a score" and I'll do that after they finish reading.

How about: I'll score each of you on your pronunciation and fluency etcetera and give some suggestions on improvement.

How about "I'll score each of you on your pronunciation and fluency et space here cetera and give some suggestions on improvement"?
Your latest suggestion is much better, although I wouldn't say "et cetera". Be very clear. Tell them exactly what you'll be scoring them on.
