Way back in the '00s (when I was a young child🙃), I got to play a small role in Dr. Jack Mostow's 🔥🔥🔥work using speech recognition and computer adaptive technology to coach children as they read. Awesome how far this has come and excited about the next phase of development!
“By implementing @nellkduke's research-based recommendations, we expect to see even higher effect sizes for all students, English Learners, and low-income students as a result.” — Mark Angel, @AmiraLearning
