Tailored for Unique Needs

Children deserve learning that meets them where they are – both academically and emotionally. Research consistently shows that personally adapted reading content provides significantly faster academic progress, higher motivation, and better mastery than a more standardized approach. RAND studies of over 11,000 students point to consistently higher test results in classes using personalized pedagogy, and school reports show up to 30% better test scores when students encounter texts that consider their interests and level. An American field study further found that fourth-graders using an adaptive reading program achieved significantly better reading comprehension than the control group after just eight weeks (Campbell et al., 2021).

Less Cognitive Noise, More Deep Understanding

When text matches the child's level, working memory is freed for deep understanding rather than word guessing, which is key to fluent reading. NWEA data from more than two million MAP Growth tests documents that students receiving adaptive tasks increase reading scores faster than students receiving fixed tasks, even after controlling for socioeconomic differences. OECD further highlights adaptive systems as one of the most effective measures for strengthening quality and equity in classrooms.

Support for Children with Learning Difficulties

Personal adaptation opens particularly important opportunities for children with dyslexia or other learning difficulties. A study by Conte and colleagues (2024) documented marked improvement in decoding speed (words read without errors) after twelve weeks of personally adapted reading. Even more impressive are findings from a longitudinal study at Stanford University, which followed 1,200 children with diagnosed learning difficulties over ten years. Children who had access to personalized reading instruction had a 42% higher probability of completing their education and reported significantly higher self-confidence and reading enjoyment.

Motivation That Lasts

Children read more and better when they care about the material. An IMLS compilation of 30 projects found that children's voluntary reading time nearly doubled when they could influence the content themselves. Schools that have implemented personalization also report 12% higher attendance and 15% lower dropout rates. Furthermore, a meta-analysis of 36 AI-assisted studies shows robust, positive effects across subjects and ages, emphasizing that tailored content maintains motivation over time.

How Langory Revolutionizes Personalized Reading

By combining insights from leading research with AI technology, we at Langory have created a platform that addresses the core of the problem with standardized reading instruction. We offer a practical way to give your child all the benefits of adaptive and personal reading, with a platform where stories automatically adapt to the child's level, interests, and any learning difficulties.

For example; for a child with dyslexia, Langory can automatically adjust the text's visual presentation – with optimized font, size, and line spacing – while the story focuses on themes the child is passionate about, whether it's dinosaurs, space travel, or football. For a child with ADHD/ADD, stories can include more action, shorter paragraphs, and more frequent interactive choices to maintain engagement and focus. Thus, one can experience mastery and retain reading joy from first to last sentence.
