It creates a personalized reading experience by highlighting the most impactful concepts a student needs to learn at that moment in time.

This ensures that the focus is on the content he or she needs to learn, while simultaneously promoting long-term retention of material. Use SmartBook’s real-time reports to quickly identify the concepts that require more attention from individual students–or the entire class.
