Motivation

Many students struggle with reading skills, but may maintain high achievement in other academic areas. They can need additional support in growing reading comprehension, even through college age. The ReadWellNow app supports students and educators by tailoring this learning experience.

What is it?

ReadWellNow is a web app designed to enhance students’ learning experience in growing their reading skills. Unlike other apps, it allows educators to use their own materials rather than being limited to a fixed set provided by the platform. Furthermore, ReadWellNow offers reading materials and focuses on developing the comprehension skills necessary for students to understand what they read.

How does it work?

The purpose of ReadWellNow is to assist teachers, tutors, and parents in organizing and assessing their students’ progress. By allowing educators to assign and organize a set of unique documents, ReadWellNow offers valuable insights into how students interact with the materials. Utilizing advanced AI, the app helps to develop students’ comprehension skills, integrating reading with understanding.

Students in the target audience range from elementary to university level, and often struggle with reading comprehension; they need tailored support to improve their skills. Educational supporters in the target audience include teachers, tutors, and parents. ReadWellNow connects these groups by providing a customizable platform where educational supporters can use their own materials and track student progress effectively.

The ReadWellNow app is designed to streamline the process of assigning reading materials. Students can use the web app to access reading assignments, searching by type, level, and subject. ReadWellNow enables seamless communication between students and supporters, allowing students to provide feedback on the materials and educational sessions. For those assigning materials or tutoring, the app offers an easy way to upload documents and descriptions, including key details like difficulty level, subject matter, and tutoring session availability. Supporters can monitor student progress, manage assignments, and coordinate sessions.

By focusing on the educational community, ReadWellNow creates targeted value for both students and their educational supporters, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience.
