1. A computer-implemented method for technology assisted reading acquisition comprising a caregiver and reader environment, at last one input device, at least one output device, a speech processing component, a scene processing component, at least one reader input device, an evaluation component, and a control interface, the method for enabling a child to learn to read, the method comprising: maintaining a data store comprising information that characterizes (i) caregivers, readers, and properties of caregiver and reader environment, (ii) vocabulary and grammar used by children of different reading levels, and (iii) text formatting appropriate to children of different reading levels; receiving a stream of sensor data from one or more input devices, the stream of sensor data representing (1) speech of a first person, and (2) characteristics of a second person, wherein the second person is a reader and is a different person than the first person, wherein the reader is a child; identifying a meaningful utterance spoken by the first person from the stream of sensor data received by the speech processing component; determining an identity of the child, based at least in part on information in the data store, the stream of sensor data received by the speech processing component or scene processing component; determining the reading level of the child based on information in the data store; representing the meaningful utterance in written text that consists of vocabulary and grammar appropriate to the determined reading level of the child using the information in the data store that characterizes vocabulary and grammar for the child; formatting the written text appropriate to the determined reading level of the child using the information in the data store that characterizes text formatting for the child; providing the written text to a display device for presentation to the child; receiving feedback from the child via at least one child input device; and responding to feedback from the child via at least one output device.
