Problem
Many students struggle with grade-level reading materials due to varying reading abilities and language barriers, hindering their comprehension and engagement with classic literature. This can lead to frustration and inequitable access to core curriculum content.
Solution
Adaptive Reader provides a print-first platform that delivers classic novels adapted to different reading levels and translated into multiple languages, alongside audio support. The platform offers three reading levels—Original, Gold (2-3 grades easier), and Silver (4-6 grades easier)—to accommodate diverse reading abilities. It also provides side-by-side translations in over 30 languages, leveraging language-specific deep learning models for translation quality. The platform includes high-quality, AI-generated audio that sounds like a real person, available in all levels and languages. Adaptive Reader's synchronized materials break down each text into numbered passages, enabling students to follow along in class discussions regardless of the reading level they are using.
Target Audience
Adaptive Reader primarily targets educators and schools looking to provide accessible and inclusive reading materials for students with diverse reading abilities and language needs, particularly English Language Learners (ELLs) and students with special education needs.
