The Kami App Understand Menu: your go-to for helping students work through tricky words, concepts, and passages without leaving their assignment.
It puts dictionaries, explanations, summaries, and translations right where students need them, in the moment they hit a challenge.
Use it when a reading passage stalls a student cold or when a multilingual learner needs the same text as their peers.
In this video, you’ll learn how to:
💜 Look up word definitions with the dictionary and picture dictionary
💜 Explain a passage, word, problem, or image at different readability levels
💜 Summarize long passages into their main ideas
💜 Translate individual words or full passages into more than 100 languages
💜 Adjust explanations and summaries to fit each student’s reading level
💜 Listen to definitions, explanations, summaries, and translations read aloud
This lesson supports students who benefit from accessibility, language, and reading comprehension supports.
