America’s literacy crisis isn’t just a statistic—it’s a call to action. In 2025, 34% of fourth graders in public schools are reading below basic levels, a sharp increase from 2019. The pandemic’s school closures and hybrid learning left a lasting impact, but now it’s time to rebuild. Edsoma’s web-based reading platform is designed to tackle this crisis head-on, helping schools and afterschool programs boost fluency and comprehension without the need for app downloads. 
A Real Solution for Lasting Change
This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about equipping kids with the skills they need to become confident readers. Edsoma’s AI listens as students read aloud, offering real-time corrections on challenging words like exploration by breaking them down into ex-plo-ra-tion until they sound natural. But fluency isn’t the end goal; it’s the bridge to comprehension. Edsoma ensures students aren’t just reciting—they’re truly understanding the words they read. Research from the National Reading Panel confirms that fluency—reading smoothly and accurately—frees up mental space for comprehension. Edsoma brings that research to life in every reading session.
A Library That Inspires a Love for Reading
At edsoma.com, students can explore a rich digital library tailored to their reading level. From early readers to advanced texts, they choose what excites them and save favorites for easy access. Choice matters—a study from the What Works Clearinghouse found that when kids pick their own reading material, engagement skyrockets, fluency improves through repetition, and comprehension deepens through genuine interest. Imagine a child fascinated by space reading about Mars over and over, mastering both the words and the science behind them. That’s real learning, without teachers scrambling to assign the perfect book. 💪
Empowering Educators, Easing Workloads
Teachers, we see you. A 2024 survey from the American Federation of Teachers revealed that 74% of educators feel buried under administrative tasks, with grading and assessments eating into valuable teaching time. Edsoma lightens the load. Our live dashboard tracks fluency (words per minute) and comprehension (quiz scores) instantly—no more stacks of papers or hours of grading. Schools can book a demo at edsoma.com to see how this data-driven approach saves time while improving student outcomes. With a projected 200,000-teacher shortage in 2025, streamlining literacy instruction isn’t just helpful—it’s critical.
Afterschool Programs: A Lifeline for Struggling Readers
Over 8 million students rely on afterschool programs, many in underserved communities where literacy gaps are widest. Budget cuts threaten these programs, but Edsoma ensures they remain a vital support system. Our web-based access means no child is left behind, no matter the resources available. Program leaders can schedule a consultation at edsoma.com to customize Edsoma for their students, whether they serve 10 kids or 100. This is about more than education—it’s about equity. Every child deserves access to strong literacy tools, regardless of zip code.
