AI-powered Literacy Application

My Role

I independently designed and developed this application, integrating instructional design principles with AI technologies to support literacy learning. The project included curriculum design, interface design, front-end web development, AI integration, prompt engineering, bilingual implementation, and the design of interactive learning activities that encourage reading comprehension and learner engagement.

Educational Purpose

This application demonstrates how generative AI can be thoughtfully integrated into elementary education to support reading comprehension, curiosity, and multilingual learning. Rather than replacing instruction, the AI serves as an interactive learning companion that encourages students to ask questions, deepen their understanding of the story, and engage in meaningful learning experiences through both exploration and play.
