Walk the journey
Choose a story
The Divine Comedy in Longfellow's 1867 verse translation — public domain. Pick one, read it, and talk about what it means — the choice, the virtue, your own life — with your Reading Companion, who asks instead of tells.

Read the story above, then talk it over with your Reading Companion — 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. Stuck on a line? Tap it to hear just that part.
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.
