AI Informational Text Generator for Special Education
Students who receive special education services for reading-related disabilities often need informational texts that are genuinely accessible (shorter sentences, controlled vocabulary, and text features that scaffold comprehension rather than add complexity. But they also need access to the same content knowledge as their grade-level peers. The AI Informational Text Generator creates modified informational texts on any topic at any Lexile level, including well below grade level, giving special education teachers a way to provide content access without watering down the topic. The same ecosystem unit, the same historical event, the same science concept) at a Lexile level the student can actually read.

How Special Education Teachers Use This Tool
Instructional use cases specific to special education teachers.
Modified grade-level content texts for students with IEPs
When a student with a reading disability is included in a grade-level science or social studies unit, they need access to the same content knowledge as their peers, at a Lexile level they can read independently or with minimal support. The generator creates modified versions of any informational topic at 200L-600L ranges, maintaining the key vocabulary and core concepts while simplifying sentence structure and reducing vocabulary load.
Vocabulary pre-teaching texts for complex content
Before a complex grade-level text, special education teachers use simplified informational passages on the same topic to build the background knowledge and vocabulary that makes the grade-level text accessible. The key vocabulary list in the generated text becomes the pre-teaching vocabulary set, students encounter these words in a simple context before meeting them in a more demanding text.
Repeated reading texts for fluency intervention
Repeated reading is one of the most evidence-based fluency interventions for students with reading disabilities. To avoid boredom from reading the same passage repeatedly, students benefit from multiple short passages at their instructional reading level on varied topics. The generator produces an unlimited supply of short (150-250 word) informational passages at any target level for fluency practice.
Social studies and science access texts for self-contained classrooms
Self-contained special education classrooms that serve students across a wide grade range need informational reading materials on grade-appropriate topics at a range of reading levels. Instead of relying on a single adapted textbook, teachers can generate custom texts on exactly the topics in their curriculum, at the exact Lexile levels of their students.
