Did you know that one in five students in America struggle with dyslexia? These bright learners often lack the necessary support to thrive, leading to lifelong battles and missed opportunities. But it's not just an American problem - it's part of a global literacy crisis affecting millions of students worldwide. The current tools at our disposal are insufficient in addressing this issue, resulting in far-reaching implications that hinder academic success and social interactions and perpetuate poverty cycles. Moreover, low literacy skills are linked to adverse health outcomes due to poor health literacy. LUCA is an innovative digital reading tutor that utilizes AI and speech recognition technology to provide personalized content and interventions to improve reading skills, boost confidence, and increase student engagement. These powerful online tools are user-friendly and accessible to families, enabling children to overcome learning deficiencies both in and out of school, from elementary to high school graduation. For struggling students, LUCA offers hope and a chance for a successful future. Our team incorporated several key features into the solution, including evidence-based research principles that enhance reading skills, a Structured Literacy Approach, integration of phonics (often overlooked in schools), and engagement of three core senses for better reading fluency and comprehension.
