Reading Comprehension: The Foundation of AI Readiness
Session Summary:
As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in education and everyday life, one critical question emerges: Are our students truly ready to work with AI — or are they simply using it?
In this session, we explore why reading comprehension is the essential foundation of AI readiness. While AI tools can generate answers instantly, students still need strong comprehension skills to interpret prompts, evaluate outputs, detect bias, and think critically about information.
This talk introduces BOOKR Class as a story-driven, research-based digital reading platform that strengthens comprehension through interactive texts, scaffolded vocabulary support, and adaptive assessment. By combining structured literacy development with engaging technology, BOOKR Class helps students build the deep reading skills necessary to navigate AI responsibly and effectively.
Participants will discover:
Why comprehension skills are more important than ever in the age of AI How story-based learning enhances critical thinking and information evaluation How AI-powered tools can support — rather than replace — cognitive development Practical classroom strategies to develop AI-ready readers
This session is ideal for educators and school leaders seeking to prepare students not only for exams, but for a future where understanding, questioning, and evaluating information is more valuable than ever.
