Abstract

Reading comprehension is one fundamental unit of life-long learning and success. We built and conducted large scale randomized controlled trials on an Intelligent Tutoring System for the Structure Strategy. Our software has shown significant improvement on measures of reading comprehension. We report on our software implementation method, which set the stage for the software to be successful.
