Microsoft today made Reading Coach, its AI-powered tool that provides students with personalized reading practice, available at no cost to anyone who has an account with the company.
As of this morning, the Reading Coach is accessible on the web as a preview while an application for Windows is already being prepared.
Soon (late spring), Reading Coach will be integrated into learning management systems like Canva, Microsoft says.
Reading Coach is based on Reading Progress, an add-on for the education-focused version of Microsoft Teams, Teams for Education, and is designed to help teachers encourage reading fluency in their students.
Inspired by the success of Reading Progress (obviously), Microsoft launched Reading Coach in 2022 as part of Teams for Education and Immersive Reader, the company's cross-platform support service for language and reading comprehension.
