Overview: #

Microsoft Reading Coach is an AI-powered tool designed to help people of all ages improve their reading skills, particularly fluency and pronunciation.

How it works: #

Personalised Practice:

  • Identifies challenging words: Reading Coach uses Immersive Reader (another Microsoft tool) to analyses text read by a user and identifies the five words the user struggled with the most.
  • Targeted practice sessions: These words are then presented in personalised practice sessions where you can:
    • Hear the correct pronunciation.
    • Record yourself reading the word and compare it to the model.
    • See the word broken down into syllables for easier reading.
    • Play engaging games to reinforce learning.

Independent Reading Support:

  • Integration with Immersive Reader: Reading Coach is available within Immersive Reader in various Microsoft apps like Word, OneNote, and Teams. This allows you to practise reading any content that interests you, not just pre-assigned passages.
  • Motivation and progress tracking: Reading Coach provides encouraging feedback and tracks your progress over time, helping you stay motivated and see your improvement.

Benefit: #

  • Microsoft Reading Coach aims to make reading practice more engaging, personalised, and accessible for everyone.
