Key Features
✅Reading Battle
After reading a book, students answer 10 multiple-choice questions—either created by players or AI—aligned with the PIRLS/PISA comprehension levels. The first 7 questions focus on general understanding, while the final 3 are more challenging. Students earn scores based on accuracy and the number of attempts.
✅Writing Battle
Students are invited to summarize or creatively rewrite the story. Before submitting, they receive grade-level scaffolds (e.g., P2, P5, S2). Their writing is assessed using structured rubrics and enhanced with AI-powered revision suggestions.
✅Questioning Battle
Students learn to create their own high-quality MCQs using the PIRLS/PISA framework. The platform supports them in crafting clear stems, relevant answer choices, and meaningful explanations. After submission, students also vote between AI- and human-generated questions in a peer-review activity.
✅Critiquing Battle
Acting as constructive critics, students review and comment on their peers’ summaries. They evaluate based on clarity, comprehension, creativity, and language quality, sharpening their analytical and feedback skills.
