SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Learning English reading comprehension alone lacks structure: learners do not know what to practice next, get no feedback on inference or tone questions, and forget vocabulary without spaced review. This Skill acts as a stateful reading tutor that remembers your progress, generates level-appropriate passages, and grades your answers against textual evidence. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adaptive 12-Module Curriculum: A novice-to-competent path covering high-frequency vocabulary, sentence parsing, long difficult sentences, inference, tone, and argument structure, rendered from curriculum.json. - AI-Generated Graded Materials: Generates reading passages matched to your current mastery level (Krashen i+1), creates comprehension questions, and grades answers by checking evidence sentences in the original text. - Stateful Learner Profile: Tracks per-module mastery, weak spots, misconceptions, and an SM-2 spaced repetition queue in learner-state.json, updated via tools/learner_state.py. - Use Case: A learner who knows about 1500 words asks to continue practicing; the tutor loads their profile, runs a due vocabulary review, then generates a passage targeting their weak spot in complex sentences and grades their answers. ## Quick Start Ask the tutor to continue practicing English reading so it loads your learner profile and starts the next adaptive lesson.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve English reading comprehension with an AI tutor?▼

This Skill runs a 12-module curriculum from high-frequency vocabulary through inference and argument structure. It generates passages matched to your level, quizzes you, grades answers against evidence in the text, and schedules spaced reviews based on your mastery scores.

How does the tutor decide what difficulty of reading passage to generate?▼

It follows Krashen's comprehensible input principle (i+1), using the mastery values stored in learner-state.json to calibrate difficulty. Materials progress from graded readers like Oxford Bookworms up to unsimplified sources such as The Economist.

Does this Skill track my learning progress between sessions?▼

Yes. It maintains a learner-state.json file recording per-module mastery, weak spots, misconceptions, exercise history, streaks, and an SM-2 spaced repetition queue, updated through the learner_state tool after each session.

Can this Skill help with English listening, speaking, or writing?▼

No. It explicitly covers reading comprehension only. Listening, speaking, pronunciation, and writing are stated as out of scope and would require a different skill or human feedback.

What are the limitations of an AI reading tutor?▼

The stated ceiling is competent: reading unsimplified long articles for main idea, inference, and tone. Domain-specific academic literature knowledge and timed exam techniques are only touched on, and external resource links may become stale over time.
