Rewrite one reading passage at three reading levels

Give every student the same content at a level they can read, with matching questions.

Want it faster? Fill in a form and open the finished prompt in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or another AI.

Tools: ChatGPT, Claude. Either works; use the one you already pay for.

Steps

1. Pick a passage you're allowed to adapt (your own text, public domain, or something your license allows).
2. Paste it into the prompt and name your grade and the three target levels.
3. Read all three versions. Check that key vocabulary and facts survived the rewrite.
4. Run the questions prompt so each version has comprehension questions that test the same ideas.
5. Print or post them with neutral labels (A, B, C) so students don't see a ranking.

Prompts

Three versions

CopyI teach grade [GRADE]. Rewrite this passage at three reading levels: [e.g. grade 3, grade 5, grade 7]. Keep the same key facts and these vocabulary words in every version: [WORDS]. Shorter sentences at lower levels, but don't make it babyish. Label them A, B, C.

Passage:
[PASTE]

Matching questions

CopyFor each version (A, B, C) above, write 5 comprehension questions that test the same 5 ideas, worded for that reading level. Include 1 vocabulary question and 1 'why do you think' question. Give an answer key.

Replace anything in [BRACKETS]. AI output can be wrong, so check facts, names, and numbers before you use it.
