Story Detectives is an innovative, AI-powered literacy program designed to combat student disengagement and foster a love for reading. The program blends interactive storytelling with educational tools to enhance literacy skills in a fun and immersive way.  

Personalized Reading Journey: Students begin with an AI-powered pre-reading assessment that evaluates their reading level and identifies areas for improvement. They then select from a library of animated story films, known as “cases,” and actively engage with the narratives through comprehension challenges, vocabulary tasks, and critical thinking activities. Lumi, their AI-powered co-detective, provides real-time feedback and personalized support tailored to each student’s unique literacy needs. At the end of each video, students take an assessment designed to help them master the specific standard covered in the story.
