A Reading Project

I am experimenting with this site to create a learning to read idea - especially for older students or adults. I have found that there aren't many resources available. It would be amazing if we could use technology to help anyone learn to read.

Features I have developed so far:

• The same story written at three different lexile levels.
• Pictures from AI to go with each beat of the story.
• A way to navigate through the story and difficulty levels.
• Scroll the text so only 5-6 words are on screen at a time so the reader is not overwhelmed.
• Hover over the text to reveal an image/gif that shows the meaning of the word. (Not all words)
• Phonics - individual words decoded.
• Story lines that might appeal to children who don't love school.
• Multiple choice questions to review understanding.

I would love to know how real readers find the project. Does it help? Does it make sense? How could I improve it?

If you would like to help me, I would love that, too.

Some things I am looking for help with:

• Mostly, I want help evaluating its impact on real readers and generating ideas about how this could be improved.
• I need help writing more stories.
• I also find it hard to generate pictures to go with the stories with consistent characters, etc.
• Develop a better picture/gif dictionary.
• Check my phonics segmentation, etc is accurate.
• I have coded this using AI and I am sure it can be better.
