 Reading Assistant

...

Reading Assistant is the world’s first intelligent reading assistant. As she listens to students read aloud, she constantly assesses their mastery of reading skills and delivers personalized tutoring aligned with the Science of Reading. She then provides detailed reports for teachers, including an individualized reading plan for every student. 

  1. Introduce Reading Assistant to students

Make it Routine

Plan to have your students read with Reading Assistant every day. Set a goal for students to read 2 stories per day, which takes about 10 minutes. Make it a part of your daily routine!

  • Small Group (ex. Centers, reading rotations, intervention)

  • Whole Group (ex. At the beginning of a literacy block) 

  • Individual (ex. Do now, morning work, homework)

Set Up Your Space

  • Space students out or turn devices so that mics are pointing in opposite directions

  • Use headphones if you have them

Model How to Read

Explicitly introduce Reading Assistant to your students and model how to read out loud with her.
