Lexplore: an AI-powered assessment tool

Background:

Lexplore is an AI-powered assessment tool designed to identify reading difficulties in children efficiently and accurately. Traditional methods of assessing reading difficulties often rely on subjective evaluations or time-consuming assessments, leading to delayed interventions and potential frustrations for students. Lexplore, however, utilizes eye-tracking technology to analyze how a student’s eyes move when reading, providing insights into their reading fluency, decoding skills, and overall reading ability within minutes.

Challenge:

The primary school in question had been grappling with identifying and addressing reading difficulties effectively among its students. Teachers faced challenges in pinpointing specific areas of struggle and providing timely interventions, resulting in some students falling behind in their reading proficiency. The school recognized the need for a more efficient and objective assessment tool to support their students’ literacy development.

Solution:

Upon discovering Lexplore, the school decided to implement the platform to streamline their reading assessment process. Lexplore’s user-friendly interface and quick assessment turnaround time appealed to the educators, who saw it as an opportunity to gain deeper insights into their students’ reading abilities. The school collaborated with Lexplore to integrate the tool seamlessly into their existing assessment practices and provide training to teachers on how to interpret the results effectively.
