AIR Language Introduces Book Assignment: A Game-Changer for Multilingual Learners

Dallas–Fort Worth, TX — 11/18/2025 — AIR Language, the leading AI-supported reading and language platform for secondary multilingual learners, today announced the release of its newest feature: Book Assignment. This simple yet powerful tool allows teachers to directly assign leveled books to individual students or groups, complete with instant tracking, automated scaffolds, and real-time progress data. This update marks a major step toward AIR Language’s mission: guaranteed reading growth for every learner without adding to teachers’ workloads.

A Solution to a National Reading Challenge

Across the U.S., multilingual learners are facing stagnant reading levels. Teachers recognize that students need more time reading. However, monitoring independent reading across multiple proficiency levels has always been nearly impossible.

The new Book Assignment tool solves this challenge. Teachers can:

• Assign any book from AIR Language’s growing library of decodable texts, fiction, nonfiction, picture-supported readers, and academic content books.

• Automatically deliver scaffolds tailored to each learner’s proficiency, including vocabulary previews, picture dictionary access, guided questions, and Ari (AIR Language’s AI reading tutor).

• Receive instant completion and performance data without collecting student work or grading manually.

• Group students by need and assign differentiated texts in seconds.

  
  

A Breakthrough for Secondary + Newcomer Programs

Secondary teachers consistently identify independent reading as one of the hardest structures to implement with multilingual learners. AIR Language’s Book Assignment feature eliminates two main barriers:

1. Finding age-appropriate, accessible texts.

2. Tracking reading without increasing teacher workload.

   
   

“Teachers told us they needed a way to get students reading every day without adding more paperwork,” said Kyle Larson, CEO of AIR Language. “This feature finally makes it possible. You click ‘assign,’ and AIR handles the rest — scaffolds, data, and student support. Students get meaningful reading practice, and teachers get time back.”

Designed for Real Classrooms, Built for Real Growth

The release comes at a time when districts are seeking cost-effective tools that support both reading improvement and language development. The Book Assignment tool works seamlessly with existing AIR Language components, including:

• Ari, the AI reading tutor, for real-time support.

• Automated formative data dashboards.

• The Picture Dictionary and vocabulary engine.

• Reading Conference tools for small-group or 1:1 conferences.

• Dynamic Standards Rollout for tracking skill-aligned growth.

  
  

Together, these components create a complete reading and language ecosystem that supports students from newcomer to advanced.

The Importance of Reading for Multilingual Learners

Reading is a critical skill for all learners, especially for multilingual students. It not only enhances language proficiency but also boosts confidence. By providing appropriate reading materials, educators can foster a love for reading while meeting diverse learning needs.

Engaging Students with Diverse Texts

Diverse texts can captivate students' interests. AIR Language’s library includes a variety of genres and formats. This ensures that every student finds something appealing. When students engage with texts that resonate with them, they are more likely to develop a habit of reading.

Supporting Teachers with Effective Tools

Teachers often juggle multiple responsibilities. The Book Assignment feature simplifies the process of assigning and tracking reading. This allows educators to focus on what truly matters: teaching. With less time spent on administrative tasks, teachers can dedicate more time to student interaction and support.

Availability

The Book Assignment feature is now available to all AIR Language partner districts and pilot campuses at no additional cost. Schools interested in exploring this feature can schedule a demo or begin a free pilot at: airlanguage.io.
