Smart-Reader is an AI close reading assistant that turns any passage into a sectioned, evidence-based analysis with staged questions, vocabulary in context, and AI coaching that pushes students back to the text.
Great close reading demands time, patient questioning, and a teacher who can push a student back to the text. Most classrooms can't provide that for every student on every passage.
Smart-Reader breaks the text into short close-reading sections. Each section pauses for staged questions — literal ("what did the text say?"), inferential ("what does it mean?"), evaluative ("what do you think and why?") — and coaches students to point back to the passage before the AI offers feedback.
Text broken into short, close-readable sections — like a great teacher would.
Literal, inferential, and evaluative prompts on every section.
AI asks 'where in the text?' before agreeing with a response.
Definitions and usage examples stay inside the passage.
Articles, primary sources, novel chapters, and poetry.

Close reading is the practice of carefully analyzing a passage — its language, structure, evidence, and meaning — instead of just skimming for the main idea.
It breaks the text into short sections, asks staged literal → inferential → evaluative questions on each section, and coaches students to cite evidence from the passage.
Yes. Smart-Reader supports pasted passages, uploaded articles, primary sources, and novel chapters with continuity between chapters.
