Reading comprehension skills are essential for success in school and the workplace. Adjunct questions (AQ) have the potential to improve reading comprehension by directing the readers' attention to important information in a text. AQ can be integrated into digital environments where AI generates relevant prompts, analyzes responses, and adapts questions.
