Abstract

We are developing a web-search application to locate and evaluate potential reading material on the internet. Our application, Read-X, performs a keyword search of the internet, analyzes the readability of text from each resulting website and classifies the text according to theme. This tool will be useful to adolescent and adult low-level reading students who face, among other challenges, a troubling lack of reading material for their age, interests and reading level.
