Readify for Schools
AI-powered reading that transforms any book into an illustrated, interactive, level-adapted experience — for every student in the room.
AI-powered reading that transforms any book into an illustrated, interactive, level-adapted experience — for every student in the room.
The Challenge
Behind every data point is a child who cannot read their science textbook, a teenager who avoids English class, a teacher who stays until 7 PM rewriting materials for six different reading levels.
The 2024 NAEP — the Nation's Report Card — shows 69% of 4th graders scoring below proficient in reading, with 40% below the Basic level. Scores have continued to decline since the pandemic.
Teachers face an impossible task: differentiate every reading assignment for students spanning four or five grade levels, while simultaneously managing ELL students, IEP accommodations, and chronic burnout. Manual differentiation — rewriting materials at multiple reading levels — consumes hours every week that could be spent teaching.
The core problem is not a lack of good books. It is that good books are locked at a single reading level.
The Solution
Upload any book. Every student reads the same story at their own level. AI-generated illustrations bring the text to life. Study tools are created automatically from the actual content.
Rewrites text to any grade level (K–12+) in real time, preserving meaning and author voice. Eliminates the need for manual leveling.
Generates original illustrations from the text in 9 art styles, under 5 seconds per image. Students choose their preferred style — watercolor, anime, oil painting, and more.
Flashcards, vocabulary lists, chapter quizzes, and comprehension questions — all generated automatically from the actual text, not generic question banks.
Full text translation with reading-level adaptation in each language. ELL students read in their home language and toggle to English — same book, same class, same lesson.
Dyslexia-friendly fonts, audio narration, high contrast, and adjustable text size. Meets IEP/504 requirements instantly — no separate accommodations workflow.
Five AI writing agents — academic, creative, research, K–5, and experimental — provide grade-appropriate coaching aligned to CCSS writing standards.
Readify is not a content library. It works with any book — the novels in your book room, the textbooks your district adopted, the independent reading selections students choose themselves.
Analytics & Insights
Readify Gardener captures reading behavior, tracks literacy growth over time, and gives teachers and administrators the data they need to act — without adding a single minute to their workload.
Reading time, session frequency, completion rates, and engagement scores — tracked automatically for every student.
Flesch-Kincaid grade level, vocabulary richness, and complexity tolerance measured longitudinally across every book a student reads.
AI-powered book recommendations matched to each student's reading level, interests, and growth trajectory — difficulty adjusts as students improve.
Teachers and administrators see class-wide KPIs, grade distribution, growth reports, and struggling student alerts — all in real time.
Gardener does not generate more data for teachers to interpret. It generates actionable insight: which students are struggling, which are ready for a stretch read, who has disengaged, and where the class stands relative to grade-level benchmarks. The goal is not dashboards for their own sake — it is better decisions with less effort.
Value
Every hour a teacher spends manually rewriting text at different reading levels is an hour not spent teaching. Readify automates differentiation so teachers can focus on instruction.
| Without Readify | With Readify |
|---|---|
| Teacher manually rewrites passages at multiple reading levels | Upload once — Readify generates every level automatically |
| ELL materials created separately by hand | 12-language translation built in, toggleable per student |
| IEP/504 accommodations formatted individually | Dyslexia fonts, audio, high contrast available instantly |
| No visibility into who is actually reading | Real-time reading analytics per student |
The following is an estimate based on published data and stated assumptions.
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Time teachers spend searching for / creating instructional materials | 7+ hours/week | K-12 Market Advisors survey |
| Conservative estimate for differentiation portion | 2 hours/week | Assumption (subset of above) |
| Median teacher salary (BLS, May 2024) | $63,100/year ≈ $30/hour | Bureau of Labor Statistics |
| School year weeks | ~40 weeks | Standard |
| Estimate | Value |
|---|---|
| Annual time saved per teacher | 2 hrs × 40 weeks = 80 hours |
| Value of reclaimed time per teacher | 80 hrs × $30/hr = $2,400 |
| School-wide (25 ELA teachers) | $60,000/year |
| Readify school license (500 students × $36) | $18,000/year |
| Estimated ROI | ~3x in reclaimed teacher time alone |

| Title III | Technology for English Language Learner instruction |
| IDEA, Part B | Assistive technology for students with disabilities (IEP/504) |
| Title IV, Part A | Student Support and Academic Enrichment |
| State Literacy Grants | Varies by state — Readify qualifies as evidence-based literacy technology |
Research Foundation
Readify is grounded in peer-reviewed research, not hype. Every feature maps to established learning theory.
| Theory | Core Finding | How Readify Applies It |
|---|---|---|
| Dual Coding (Paivio, 1971) | Combining visual and verbal information improves comprehension and retention; a meta-analysis of illustrated text found a +0.39 SD improvement over text-only (Guo et al., 2020) | AI illustrations pair every passage with an original image |
| Differentiated Instruction (Tomlinson, 2001) | One-size-fits-all fails diverse learners | Adaptive reading level generates text at each student's ability |
| Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky, 1978) | Students learn best when challenged just beyond current ability | Incremental difficulty adjustment as fluency builds |
| Matthew Effect (Stanovich, 1986) | In reading, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer | Accessible text at every level breaks the cycle |
| Adaptive Learning (scoping review, 2024) | Personalized adaptive technology improved academic performance in 59% of studies reviewed | AI adapts reading level in real time per student |
Aligned to CCSS and NGLS across Reading (RL/RI), Writing (W), Language (L), and Speaking & Listening (SL) standards. Compliant with FERPA, COPPA, NY Ed Law 2-d, and Section 508/ADA.
Our Culture
Readify exists to bridge the gap between ambition and execution — to turn ideas into systems that work in real classrooms, for real students.
We don't build AI for demos. We build tools that empower teachers to teach better, students to read with confidence, and schools to see measurable results. If it's not reliable, it's not usable.
Innovation comes from understanding first principles and being willing to rethink them. Learning never stops — not for our students, not for our team.
AI shapes the world. Building it responsibly requires people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences. Belonging fuels innovation. Different viewpoints make systems stronger, fairer, and more robust.
Our brand color promotes the exact cognitive state we want for readers: calm, focused attention with room for imagination to breathe. In 1764, Rousseau spotted a periwinkle flower and was transported thirty years to a walk with his mentor — one of literature's most celebrated moments of involuntary memory. That is what great reading does. Periwinkle blue is trust and imagination. It is memory and discovery. It is the color of reading.
No contract. No credit card. No IT department. One teacher, one class, one book. See what happens when every student can read at their level.
