This study builds upon previous work aimed at developing a student model of reading comprehension ability within the intelligent tutoring system, iSTART. Currently, system evaluates students' self-explanation performance using local, sentence-level algorithm and does not adapt content based on ability. The current leverages natural language processing tools to build models from linguistic properties their self-explanations. Students (n = 126) interacted with iSTART across eight training...
