Our Story & Mission

We believe every child deserves to feel like a capable, confident reader. Next Chapter was built to turn "I can't" into "I understand."

Educator-First Design

Redefining Reading Practice

Traditional reading comprehension tools often focus on testing rather than teaching. They point out what's wrong without explaining why.

Next Chapter changes the narrative. We use supportive AI coaching to provide immediate, encouraging feedback that mimics the guidance of a one-on-one reading specialist.

Our Three Pillars

The foundation of our educational approach.

Supportive AI

Our AI isn't a grader; it's a coach. It identifies strengths and provides gentle cues to help students find evidence themselves.

Skill Mastery

We track 6 core comprehension skills, giving teachers and parents deep insights into precisely where a child is thriving.

Inclusion by Default

With built-in dyslexia fonts and text-to-speech, we ensure that decoding hurdles never stand in the way of comprehension.

Privacy & Safety First

We understand the responsibility of educational technology. Next Chapter is built with strict privacy standards, ensuring student data is protected and our AI interactions remain educational, safe, and supportive at all times.
