How to use Microsoft Reader Coach with Immersive Reader

In this article, we will show you how to use Microsoft Reading Coach in Immersive Reader on Windows PC. Reading guidance features help students or individuals practice reading and develop their literacy skills. You start by reading a passage or a document in a supported application, and based on this, your reading report is generated by the Reading Coach tool. The reading report shows your reading accuracy, the time it took you to read, the number of words correct per minute, and the words you found most challenging while reading. You will also be able to practice the words, which will help develop your reading skills in general.

Currently, only Office or Microsoft 365 (including OneNote for Web and Word for Web), "Minecraft: Education Edition", OneNote Desktop 365 and Team Assignments provide the preview function of reading guidance. In the future, this feature will be gradually rolled out to more platforms and applications. If desired, users can also access this functionality by using Reading Coach’s web app or Microsoft Store app separately.

While using Reading Coach Preview in supported apps can only help practice vocabulary and generate reading reports, its web app and Microsoft Store app offer much more. For example, you can use AI to create a story based on characters (like dogs, beer, etc.), places, etc., choose your reading level (between 1 and 8), select and read a passage from their library, add your Own paragraph, view your achievements, and progress history. We may also get all these features in supported apps later.
