How Does Reading Assistant Work?

How RA works

Will Reading Assistant Work for my Children?

Children wear a headset with microphone and read stories aloud on a computer or iPad.

If a word is read incorrectly, the software stops and corrects the student, acting as a patient listener, allowing struggling readers to get reading practice without being judged or feeling self-conscious.

There’s vocabulary help along the way and a comprehension quiz at the end.

300+ texts cater for all topics of interest.

  • Help When Children Need It: Reading Assistant acts as a patient, non-judgmental listener, that provides support to readers as they need it. They get instant corrective feedback via speech recognition technology so they can self correct while reading aloud, improving fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
  • Built in Motivation:  Texts cover different interests and reading levels, and frequent comprehension checks to keep students engaged and motivated to focus on reading for meaning.
  • 300+ texts cater for all topics of interest:  This ensures your children can  build a body of knowledge and are exposed to vocabulary in different contexts.
