Project Description

Bookbot helps children learn to read by listening to them read aloud and providing pronunciation feedback. Now, it engages in verbal conversations about the stories, like a reading tutor, with a diverse collection of non-fiction, cultural, gender, and inclusive content. Using its interactive avatar, Bookbot enhances cognitive skills through real-time conversations, asking Socratic-style questions to develop critical thinking, reflection, evaluation, and analysis, deepening students’ understanding of any subject.
