Architecture
Technology behind READSmart
What Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Drizzle, Cloudflare, and RunPod do when a pupil records a reading.
Design decisions
Why READSmart works the way it does, and what each choice costs us.
Reading materials
Creating original practice passages
How Phil-IRI reference patterns guide structure, language and thinking demands, with checks for facts, questions and illustrations. Includes the original samples.
Classroom access
Accounts built around the classroom
Why teachers create pupil credentials, administrators approve staff, and reading sessions offer both QR and manual codes.
Assessment
Measurements support teacher judgement
Why the app includes grade, language, and uncertainty in its measurements, and leaves the final judgement to teachers.
Privacy
A live demo with temporary audio
Why visitors record their own reading and why results wait until the server confirms that their audio has been deleted.
