SoloStudies Listens as Students Read

An adaptive reading support system that builds decoding skills through guided practice, not answer delivery

Real-Time Monitoring & Support

As students read, SoloStudies monitors accuracy, timing, and error patterns. When a student misreads or hesitates, the system doesn't provide the answer—it delivers research-based prompts to help them decode independently.

Aligned with Orton-Gillingham Principles

Progressive Scaffolding

Starts with minimal cues and provides more explicit guidance only when needed. Prompts include visual syllable segmentation, vowel team highlighting, prefix/suffix identification, and sound-symbol cues.

Active Problem-Solving

Prompts like "tap the sounds," "look for a vowel team," or "divide the word into parts" encourage students to apply decoding strategies rather than passively receive answers.

Intelligent Tracking

Tracks error types, supports used, and prompting levels to inform instruction, identify skill gaps, and gradually fade scaffolds as students demonstrate mastery.

Builds Independence

Promotes metacognition and transferable decoding skills. Students learn to problem-solve independently, leading to long-term reading development and confidence.

Less Listening, More Skill Building

SoloStudies functions as a true skill-building tool that promotes independence, metacognition, and long-term reading development—ensuring every interaction strengthens a student's ability to decode complex text on their own.

Coming Soon
