Good news for students and educators! Microsoft has announced that it is making its AI-powered reading tutor, Reading Coach, available for free to anyone with a Microsoft account. This is a fantastic opportunity for students of all ages to improve their reading skills and fluency.

What is Reading Coach?

Reading Coach is a web-based tool that uses artificial intelligence to personalize reading practice. It provides students with a variety of engaging activities, such as:

• Reading aloud to the AI: The AI listens to the student read and provides feedback on their pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension.
• Following along with highlighted text: The AI highlights the text as the student reads, helping them to stay focused and track their progress.
• Completing comprehension quizzes: The AI assesses the student's understanding of the text they have read.
• Setting personalized goals: Students can set their own goals for reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.

Why is this a big deal?

Reading Coach is a valuable tool for students of all ages and abilities. It can help students who are struggling with reading to catch up, and it can help students who are already good readers to improve their skills even further.

Here are just a few of the benefits of using Reading Coach:

• Improved reading accuracy and fluency: Reading Coach helps students to read more smoothly and accurately.
• Enhanced comprehension: Reading Coach helps students to better understand the texts they read.
• Increased motivation: Reading Coach makes reading more engaging and fun, which can help students to stay motivated.
