A personalized phonics and fluency tutor for each child, aligned to your curriculum
Our AI Tutor listens to students read out loud and provides real-time phonics instruction. For each student, it then generates the next decodable story based on your chosen scope and sequence to target specific skills gaps. Finally, it provides educators granular data on error patterns.
Key benefits

With the tutor, you get real phonics instruction that traditional edtech can’t provide, and you can validate whether a child can actually decode and read fluently.

Get to track individual skills gaps and progress automatically, and make it faster and more frequently.

How the AI Tutor works for teachers

Create a classroom from your teacher dashboard. Add students in seconds.
Students log in with a class code
Share the class code with students. They will use it to log in and then choose their name.
Review your class progress every day
Get an automated email each day at the end of each day when students are active with class-wide trends and error patterns.
Use your dashboard to dive deep into each student's performance
Click on each student's name in your dashboard to see their granular skills gaps, words missed and progress.
How the AI Tutor works for students
No emails required
Students sign in with a class code
Each classroom is given a unique, 6-character class code that they can provide to their students. Once a class code is used on a device it is remembered for the next session, simplifying sign-in for additional lessons.
Once a classroom is selected, students are able to choose their name from the classroom roster while being guided by our voice assistant, reducing the need for individual assistance.
Automatic stories
Students read out loud to the tutor
The AI Tutor presents a unique decodable story each student to read that aligns with their level. All they have to do is put on their headphones and start reading while being guided by voice.
Realtime feedback
Get instant help when needed
After reading part of the story, students are given feedback on words they may have missed after a second attempt. Feedback adapts dynamically to the situation—they may receive hints about the specific concept or word they missed, or be shown our interactive Word Mapper tool to help sound out the word visually.
Data about the student’s reading is captured for their teacher to review later, providing insights on their progress and target areas for additional review.
Automatic advancement
Students are leveled up as they progress
As students complete stories they are adaptively leveled through the scope and sequence based on their readiness. Teachers can adjust their level at any time through the dashboard as needed.
How a 1st grade teacher transformed her classroom with Project Read
Dawn has been using our AI Tutor and Decodable Generator for a year, and the impact these two tools had on her classroom is remarkable.
How did setting things up go?
“I saw students who struggled with decoding over the course of the school year grow more confident and more accurate in their decoding”
“Changing my student’s subjects takes me a couple of seconds, so all my students are working at their own level, which I feel is so important”
“My students can do it all by themselves. They know exactly what to do when they log in, which is awesome.”
How do you use the tutor?
“Sometimes I have them use the Tutor right when they arrive to class, and they can do it all by themselves, which is awesome”
“Other times, students who finish early log in and get working on the concept that I want them to work on, so I know they’re not working on anything too hard or too easy for them”
“I even created a little challenges for their breaks, where they worked with the Tutor at home! The 3 students with the most points got a reward (like a luncheon with me, or getting to name the first class chick that we were hatching.
You would not believe how many students took part in these challenges. They even read to the chicks, which was so cute and fun to watch!”
What impact did the Tutor have on your classes?
With Project Read, I started the 23-24 year in the fall with 11 Tier-3 students and ended the year with only 1 Tier-3 student (who by the way, I didn’t get until midway through the year)
The impact Project Read had on my classroom is amazing.
After this, what are your thoughts on the Tutor and Project Read?
I love using it and I love telling people about it!
“Changing my student’s subjects takes me seconds.”
