Can I learn at my own pace?

Yes. ReadWithUs is designed for flexible, independent learning. You can study topics, revisit lessons and practise difficult skills according to your learning needs and available access.


2. Learning with Ava AI

What is Ava AI?

Ava is ReadWithUs's AI-powered learning assistant.

Instead of simply showing whether an answer is right or wrong, Ava is designed to help students understand their mistakes, strengthen weak skills and practise challenging topics step by step.

How does Ava work?

Ava supports a simple five-step learning journey:

1. Learn the Topic — Start with a clear, focused video lesson.

2. Take the Quiz — Answer questions to check your understanding.

3. Ava Insight — Identify mistakes and the skills that need attention.

4. Ava Help & Teaching — Work through explanations and similar practice questions.

5. Master the Topic — Practise again, review your progress and strengthen your understanding.

What happens if I fail a quiz?

Getting questions wrong is part of learning.

ReadWithUs helps you review your results and identify the topics or skills that need more attention.

Where Ava support is available, Ava can explain difficult concepts and guide you through targeted practice before you try again.

Does Ava explain incorrect answers?

Yes. In supported learning activities, Ava provides step-by-step explanations and practice questions designed to help you understand why an answer was incorrect.

What is Ava Insight?

Ava Insight uses available quiz results and learning activity to highlight the skills you may need to improve.

It helps you focus on specific learning difficulties rather than repeating an entire topic unnecessarily.

Can Ava generate more practice questions?

In supported activities, Ava can provide similar practice questions to help reinforce the concept you're learning.

These questions are intended to help you apply an explanation independently.

What are recall quizzes and memory boosters?

Recall quizzes and memory boosters help you revisit previously studied topics.

They encourage you to remember and apply what you've learnt, helping reinforce understanding over time.

Can Ava make mistakes?

Yes. Ava uses artificial intelligence, and its explanations or answers may occasionally be inaccurate.

If something appears incorrect, check your learning materials or ask a qualified teacher. You can also report the issue to ReadWithUs.
