title = "EMBRACE: Applying cognitive tutor principles to reading comprehension",
abstract = "Reading comprehension is a critical skill, and one where dual language learners can fall behind compared to native English speakers. We developed EMBRACE, an intelligent tutoring system to improve reading comprehension of dual language learners. Based on theories of embodied cognition, EMBRACE tutors children on how to create cognitive simulations of text content. We describe the implementation of EMBRACE and show how it is closely aligned to principles posed by Anderson and colleagues in 1995 for the design of cognitive tutors, a type of intelligent tutoring system.",
