EducationReading Comprehension3MediumTeacher$ implied
Students who primarily read manga and graphic novels struggle with decoding and comprehending complex text, yet teachers lack tools to measure or address this gap.
Existing reading materials (graphic novels, traditional novels) are binary choices; no software exists to bridge visual and text-heavy reading comprehension or to track student progress across formats.
