Project Overview

Reading Buddy is an AI-powered learning platform that transforms story books into game-like adventures for primary and secondary students (KS1–KS3). Students read interactive animated ebooks, then complete four quests — Reading, Writing, Questioning, and Critiquing — to build skills in reading comprehension, writing, questioning, and critical thinking. All content is aligned with the PIRLS framework and EDB word lists and suggested modules and units. The platform features 90 interactive ebooks, motivating game elements, and a teacher dashboard for tracking student progress and performance.
