Interactive stories and motivation to read in the raft dyslexia fluency tutor

Arthur Ward; Margaret G. McKeown; Carol Utay; Olga Medvedeva; Rebecca S. Crowley

Improving motivation to read is an important step toward improving reading fluency among children with dyslexia. We describe a test of the RAFT dyslexia fluency tutor which dynamically generates an interactive story by assembling pre-written scene templates in response to user-chosen plot events. Results suggest that interactivity improved voluntary reading, relative to non-interactive versions of the story.

Predicting Learning in Tutoring with the Landscape Model of Memory

Arthur Ward; Diane J. Litman

A Landscape Model analysis, adopted from the text processing literature, was run on transcripts of tutoring sessions, and a technique developed to count the occurrence of key physics points in the resulting connection matrices. This point-count measure was found to be well correlated with learning.
