What Project Read does

Project Read is an AI-powered platform that provides personalized reading support for students. It generates decodable stories based on a student's reading level and previous errors. As students read aloud, an AI tutor provides live feedback and encouragement. This platform is designed to help teachers effectively teach reading to each child in their class individually. Project Read is compatible with various Science of Reading curricula and can be accessed on mobile, tablet, or desktop devices.

Key features for teachers

• AI-Powered Tutor: The AI tutor listens to each student as they read and provides live feedback based on their mistakes at the phoneme level. This feature allows teachers to extend individualized support to each child based on their unique needs.
• Personalized Decodable Stories: Project Read generates personalized decodable stories for each child according to a K-2 phonics scope and sequence. This feature helps students learn reading through decodable stories that contain only those words with patterns that they have been explicitly introduced to.
• Live Feedback and Encouragement: As students read aloud, the AI tutor provides live feedback and encouragement. This feature helps students correct their mistakes in real-time and improve their reading skills.
• Gamification Elements: Students are rewarded with coins as they read sentences and words correctly. This feature helps to build student confidence and enjoyment of reading.
• Teacher-Facing Dashboard: Project Read is actively building a teacher-facing dashboard of data from student usage of the app. This feature can be used to identify the most common error patterns, inform small and whole group instruction, and support individual students.
