EducationInstructional Tools & Technology4HighTeacher$ implied
A first-year middle school art teacher assigned to teach ELA reading intervention without training or curriculum, struggling to help students who are far below grade level and unsure about assessment or progress tracking.
Existing reading intervention materials are not differentiated enough for students far below grade level; the teacher lacks guidance on assessment, progress monitoring, and effective instruction.

App Concept
ReadBoost Intervention Suite
ReadBoost is a comprehensive reading intervention platform that provides diagnostic assessments to pinpoint each student's skill gaps, then automatically generates and levels engaging reading passages and scaffolded activities with built-in progress tracking. It helps teachers without literacy expertise to deliver effective, targeted intervention and monitor student growth.
Key Features
- Adaptive diagnostic assessments to identify specific reading deficits (decoding, fluency, comprehension)
- AI-generated differentiated reading passages and questions aligned to each student's instructional level
- Scaffolded supports (sentence stems, vocabulary previews, audio, hints) that gradually fade as students progress
- Progress monitoring dashboard with standards-aligned data and automatic reporting for teachers and administrators
Target Users: Teachers, especially those without literacy training, who are assigned to reading intervention in K-12 schools, including special education and Title I settings.
Revenue Model: $5,000 per school per year for unlimited teacher and student access, with district-wide discounts available.
