This year, I discovered ROYO, an AI-powered program that creates personalized decodable stories for students. It has quickly become one of the most exciting additions to our literacy routine, and I can confidently say that my students have never been more motivated to read!
ROYO has seamlessly integrated into our daily literacy block. I use it in two key ways: as a small group rotation and as an early finisher option. During small group time, students take turns using ROYO on their devices while I work with others on targeted reading instruction. When students finish their assigned work early, they know they can log into ROYO and continue their reading adventures.
The beauty of ROYO is its ability to personalize stories for each student. It crafts decodable books featuring the child as the main character, making the reading experience deeply engaging. The excitement on their faces when they see themselves in a story is priceless! The program also rewards progress by allowing students to unlock new topics and items the more books they read successfully. This approach keeps them eager to keep going, reinforcing reading skills in a way that feels like play rather than work.
I’ve used many reading programs in the past, but none have sparked enthusiasm quite like ROYO. My students beg for more “ROYO time” because they love unlocking new stories. This motivation is invaluable in fostering a love of literacy from an early age. I’ve seen struggling readers gain confidence, knowing that ROYO is designed to match their level and help them grow at their own pace.
One of my students, an excellent reader, has especially benefited from ROYO. Because the program adapts to individual skill levels, he can expand his reading abilities well beyond his peers without it being obvious to peers. This eliminates any pressure or competition among students and allows him to continue progressing without feeling held back.
One of the most powerful features of ROYO is its ability to track student progress. Since the AI listens to each word a student reads, I have real-time access to detailed data on their fluency, accuracy, and overall reading development. This insight helps me make informed instructional decisions, providing targeted support where needed. Instead of relying solely on traditional assessments, I can monitor their growth through daily interactions with the program.
ROYO provides the flexibility to tailor the program to my classroom’s specific needs. I can align the reading material with my curriculum’s scope and sequence, ensuring that students are introduced to skills in the most effective order. The program allows me to decide whether students auto-progress or if I manually advance them based on their readiness. Another key feature is the ability to choose which sight words to focus on, helping reinforce the words that are most relevant to my students’ learning journeys. This level of customization makes ROYO an incredibly powerful tool for both student engagement and targeted literacy instruction.
ROYO has transformed the way my students engage with reading. It’s fun, effective, and tailored to each child’s needs. As technology continues to shape education, I’m excited to see how AI-driven tools like ROYO can further enhance learning in the early years. If you’re an educator looking for an innovative way to inspire young readers, I highly recommend giving ROYO a try!
