Read the story above, then talk it over with your Reading Coach — this is about what the story means and what you would do, not a quiz on what happened. Type, or tap the mic to speak. Story listening uses the original telling. Select the original text to hear an individual sentence.
Off by default — the student chooses their own lens under "Think deeper". Pick one here and the lesson opens already pointed through that tradition, so a class can argue the same story from the same angle.
Off by default. A teacher turns this on when they want a visible session timer and a timestamped record of how long the work took.
Assign these questions
A teacher or a parent picks the story and assigns its questions — one chapter at a time, not a whole book.
What was saved
This is the real conversation from this device — a teacher would read it, and hear it read back.
