LeseKI:DS: Improvents made to AI supported reading literacy program

The project “LeseKI:DS – Promoting Reading Skills with AI” is entering a new phase of development. Building on extensive practical experience with school classes in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, the platform has been specifically refined and improved in key areas. The result: a significantly more dynamic, adaptive, and intelligent learning environment for reading instruction.

At the heart of LeseKI:DS are so-called “theme journeys,” in which children read personalized texts tailored to their interests and individual reading levels. A new addition is the “LeseKI:DS Mission” format, an adaptive learning progress assessment that specifically promotes key reading skills. Here, students practice, depending on their skill level, skills ranging from extracting simple information to understanding complex relationships and analogies.

LeseKI:DS combines personalized reading with adaptive exercises within a structured learning program. The program was developed specifically for use in fourth grade and is currently also available in a compact 6-week version that integrates well into classroom instruction.

Participation is free of charge. Teachers can register for onboarding sessions via the platform lesekids.tu-dortmund.de and will receive a comprehensive package of materials for use in the classroom. Sessions are currently still available through early May.

LeseKI:DS is a collaborative project between TU Dortmund University and Goethe University Frankfurt, funded by the Vodafone Foundation Germany and the German Postcode Lottery.
