About this app

ReaDirect is an AI-assisted oral reading and comprehension learning-support application designed to help young learners practice essential English reading skills through structured activities, speech recognition, guided feedback, and progress monitoring.

The application provides a clear reading journey that helps learners progress from foundational reading skills toward connected reading and comprehension.

STRUCTURED READING JOURNEY

Learners progress through:

• Diagnostic Assessment
• Lesson 1 – Letters
• Lesson 2 – Words
• Lesson 3 – Phrases
• Lesson 4 – Sentences
• Lesson 5 – Short Passage Reading
• Lesson 6 – Reading Comprehension
• Final Assessment

Each stage provides focused reading activities while learner progress is recorded by the system.

AI-ASSISTED ORAL READING

ReaDirect uses Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to support oral reading activities. Learners can use their device microphone to read letters, words, phrases, sentences, and short passages aloud.

The system can:

• Capture spoken reading responses
• Check recording and audio quality
• Process oral reading activities
• Compare responses with expected reading targets
• Provide age-appropriate feedback
• Allow technical retries for unusable recordings
• Record learning attempts and progress

Silence, low volume, or unusable audio can be treated as a technical issue instead of automatically being considered a reading mistake.

LEARN WITH MA’AM CLARA

ReaDirect includes Ma’am Clara, a virtual learning guide who supports learners throughout their activities.

Ma’am Clara can provide instructions, encouragement, clues, demonstrations, and guided practice during supported lessons. She helps make activities easier to understand while keeping learners actively involved.

GUIDED READING PRACTICE

When learners experience difficulty, ReaDirect may provide:

• Helpful instructions
• Encouraging feedback
• Targeted clues
• Guided retries
• Reading demonstrations
• Opportunities to listen, repeat, and practice

The system guides learners without simply giving the correct answer.

READING COMPREHENSION

ReaDirect supports more than pronunciation and word recognition. Learners progress toward short-passage reading and comprehension activities where they practice understanding important information from what they read.

Activities may include questions involving who, what, where, when, and why.

PROGRESS MONITORING

ReaDirect maintains learning records so authorized teachers and school personnel can monitor learner participation and progress.

Available information may include:

• Assessment progress
• Completed lessons
• Reading attempts
• Activity results and scores
• Learner progress
• Available speech evidence
• Areas requiring additional practice

These records can help teachers identify patterns and determine when additional support may be helpful.

DESIGNED FOR EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT

ReaDirect is intended to supplement regular reading instruction and teacher-guided learning.

The application does not replace teachers, authorized school assessments, or professional educational judgment.

ReaDirect-generated assessment scores and internal reading profiles are supplementary system outputs and should not be interpreted as official CRLA results or official school reading classifications.

Teachers and authorized school personnel remain responsible for interpreting learner performance and making educational decisions.

BUILT FOR YOUNG LEARNERS

ReaDirect provides child-friendly reading activities, clear instructions, interactive oral reading, guided practice, comprehension activities, progress tracking, and teacher-supported monitoring.

From recognizing letters to reading and understanding short passages, ReaDirect gives young learners opportunities to practice important reading skills in one structured learning environment.

Read. Practice. Understand. Progress with ReaDirect.
