Readerly Details
At Readerly, we help people master a body knowledge quickly through educational gameplay.Currently we're preparing to launch our app Readerly. Beta testing begins at the end of 2015.Readerly empowers high school students to dramatically increase their scores on the reading sections of the SAT and ACT. The app does so by honing their critical reading skills with an innovative learning method called interactive close reading.Think of Readerly as a cross between an Oxford-style tutorial and a Choose Your Own Adventure game. A player reads short passages drawn from a variety of sources, including literature, nonfiction, and technical articles. These passages are organized into topics based on a college-level curriculum, yet appeal to students' interests. Topics include: "Who killed Junior Seau?" and "Cyborg Vampires Attack!"After reading a passage, the player answers a series of questions that begin with basic comprehension and build to ones similar to those on the standardized exams. By answering questions correctly, the player earns points. Like a one-on-one tutorial, each answer has an individually-tailored response that fosters a dialogue between the player and the "tutor." Like Choose Your Own Adventure, the app's question and answer flow is adaptive; based on answers, it executes loops, leaps, and forks.By playing Readerly on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device for short bursts every day over the course of a few months, students will experience a marked improvement in their critical reading skills. Readerly rewards this progress by promoting the player from the level of Rookie to Reader to Scholar, and ultimately, to Sage.
