Problem
Many caregivers of preschool-aged children lack accessible tools to support interactive, dialogic reading at home, leading to missed opportunities for early literacy development and reduced engagement during storytime.
Solution
REED (Read, Engage, Explore, Discuss) is an AI‑powered mobile app that acts as a reading companion for caregivers and their young children. Using the proprietary AIDA (Artificially Intelligent Dialogic Reading Aid) technology, the app listens to the reading session, tracks progress through the book, and records time spent reading. It then generates evidence‑based dialogic questions tailored to the story to stimulate conversation and improve comprehension. All processing occurs locally on the device, ensuring that user data never leaves the caregiver’s phone, preserving privacy while delivering personalized support.
Target Audience
Primary users are parents, grandparents, and early‑childhood educators who conduct shared reading sessions with preschool‑aged children and seek tools to enhance engagement and literacy outcomes.
