About OpenBook
OpenBook is an AI-powered reading platform designed to make complex texts accessible and engaging for all learners, including struggling readers, English Language Learners, and students with reading differences. Teachers assign articles, book excerpts, or uploaded documents through OpenBook, and the platform's AI automatically generates reading-level adaptations, inline vocabulary support, text-to-speech narration, and comprehension scaffolds — without replacing the original text. Students can toggle between the grade-level text and a simplified version, click on unfamiliar words for instant definitions and context, and listen to the passage read aloud with synchronized highlighting. Built-in comprehension questions and annotation tools encourage active reading. For teachers, OpenBook provides detailed analytics showing reading engagement, vocabulary look-up patterns, and comprehension performance, making it easy to identify students who are struggling before the unit assessment. The platform supports differentiation at scale: one teacher can assign the same article to an entire class while each student receives the level of support they need automatically. OpenBook integrates with Google Classroom and Clever for easy rostering and assignment management.
