AIR Language Launches Ari 2.0: An AI Reading Tutor Connecting Literacy and Oracy for Newcomers and Other Multilingual Learners

Dateline: Aubrey, TX — 9/17/2025

AIR Language today announced the release of Ari 2.0, the next generation of its AI-powered reading tutor. Building on the success of the original Ari, this new version integrates directly with AIR’s reading library to give multilingual learners the chance to practice language through authentic reading, real-time conversation, and personalized feedback.

• Connected to Content: Students take a short proficiency screener, receive leveled books, and can instantly begin selecting books and reading at their just-right level.

• Interactive Conversations: While reading, students click on Ari to discuss the text, practicing vocabulary and comprehension in authentic dialogue.

• Actionable Feedback: After each conversation, Ari provides personalized insights on strengths and growth areas to improve future interactions.

• Assessment Integration: Students complete short comprehension quizzes tied to their readings, earning points and demonstrating measurable progress.

"Ari 2.0 is more than an AI tutor—it’s a bridge between reading and speaking,” said Kyle Larson, CEO of AIR Language. “We’ve built Ari to give students the confidence to use new vocabulary and concepts right away, while giving teachers meaningful data to track growth in both literacy and oracy.”

With multilingual learners often lacking structured opportunities to develop oral language alongside reading, Ari 2.0 fills a critical gap. By making every reading moment an opportunity for dialogue, AIR Language empowers schools to raise achievement, close graduation gaps, and build a system where language growth is visible across classrooms.

Ari 2.0 is now available for schools and districts worldwide. To learn more about how Ari can transform your language program, click here or schedule a demo today.
