One City Schools, a public charter school system, announced a research and development partnership with Project Read AI of Palo Alto, CaliforniaA. Project Read AI will work with One City teachers and students to enhance its artificial intelligence-powered tool, designed to support early foundational literacy skill development among children ages four to 10.
The AI Tutor, which can be accessed on a handheld device or computer, listens to students read aloud and provides real-time phonics feedback, reinforcing essential reading skills. By partnering with One City Schools, Project Read AI will be able to refine and expand the AI Tutor’’s capabilities, ensuring it aligns with the latest research in early literacy instruction and meets the diverse needs of young learners.
This project commenced during One City’’s summer trimester and will extend into the fall trimester of the 2024–25 school year. Teachers and students will play an integral role in testing new features, providing feedback, and helping shape the AI Tutor’’s development to maximize its effectiveness in supporting literacy instruction.
This collaboration is made possible through funding from the Ascendium Education Group.
