Reading Road AI Tutor
New for 2025
Our new Reading Road AI Tutor provides the support students need to improve their fluency and decoding skills. The Reading Road AI Tutor is a digital companion to the printed Reading Road texts and adapts to each student’s unique learning needs. With real-time feedback, students can consolidate their reading abilities while building confidence.
1. Read
After working through a printed Reading Road book, students log onto the Reading Road AI Tutor (hosted on Sunshine Online). They read and record the passage given from the book, rerecording as many times as they wish to develop fluency. The Reading Road AI Tutor then gives the student a score out of five stars, reflecting the fluency of the student’s reading of the passage.
2. Practice
The Reading Road AI Tutor also analyses 10 focus words as a spot check to see how well the students can read them. The Reading Road AI Tutor then gives feedback on those 10 focus words, and gives the student the opportunity to practise reading any that they got wrong.
3. Teacher Review
In the Teacher Administration area, teachers see a summary of results from books the student has worked on, and they can listen to the student’s recordings of their practice words. This feedback highlights knowledge gaps that teachers can help the student address and guides teachers on the best next steps for the student.
Students practice reading on their own, in a no-stress environment, while getting instant feedback from the AI Tutor on their reading ability and phonics knowledge.
Local voice-over supports pronunciation of focus words if students need it.
Motivation and celebration is provided by printable certificates for every book.
Works alongside our fully decodable Reading Road titles – high-interest, low reading ability texts aimed at your struggling older readers, who need to build skills and confidence to advance their literacy.
It’s a massive time saver. Teachers can let students complete the reading activities without assistance, and then check their results in the admin area to determine ‘next steps’ if necessary.
Teachers can easily conduct individual assessments – student results are saved to the administration area which teachers can access at any convenient time.
