AI Reading Comprehension Helper for Middle School
Middle school reading shifts from narrative-dominant to informational and argumentative texts across all content areas. Students in grades 6–8 must read science articles, primary source documents, persuasive essays, and literary non-fiction, each with distinct text structures, vocabulary registers, and comprehension demands. The AI Reading Comprehension Helper generates text-type-specific scaffolds: argument maps for persuasive texts, cause-and-effect organizers for historical accounts, claim-evidence-reasoning guides for science readings, and character-motivation trackers for literary texts. All supports build toward independent comprehension without replacing the original text.
