Adaptive Reading Tutor
Dynamic Reading Technologies introduces a totally new online method for helping readers improve their comprehension of informational texts. With over a thousand articles and a half million possible activities, our tutoring system will help readers improve in the following ways.
- Actively engage with the text.
- Develop comprehension strategies that aid in retention.
- Build vocabulary.
- Build background knowledge.
- Adapt to the reader's ability.
- Motivate readers with hundreds of articles on dozens of topics.
Wide range of articles
Articles are chosen to represent dozens of topics, regions and time periods so as to provide content for a diverse range of interests. Every article in our catalog has been reviewed and edited multiple times by our reading and content experts using the following stringent criteria:
- Factual accuracy
- Student-appropriate content
- Controlled sentence lengths
- Article word counts from 350 to 800
- Political and ideological neutrality
While our system is not designed to teach the mechanics of reading (e.g. phonics, basic vocabulary), our read-aloud tools provide targeted opportunities to assist the reader with unfamiliar words and passages.
