Smart-Reader is a teacher-created AI reading coach designed for grades 6–8. It guides students through any text with vocabulary support, close-reading questions, and writing preparation — with no open-ended chat and no shortcuts.
Texts get harder, vocabulary explodes, and students are expected to argue in writing for the first time. Consumer AI tools don't help — they finish the work for kids who need to build the muscle themselves.
Smart-Reader is designed around middle-school-friendly scaffolds: read-aloud with word highlighting for fluency, vocabulary pulled from the actual passage, staged questions that build confidence, and a graphic organizer that grows into an essay outline.
Natural read-aloud with word highlighting for readers still building fluency.
Definitions live inside the passage; students use words in their own sentences.
Start literal, move to inference, end with evaluation — every session.
No response, no AI feedback. Kids build the habit of reasoning first.
Novel chapters, articles, primary sources — Smart-Reader works with your curriculum.
Simple class join code, teacher sees every response.
