ELL and ESL reading support
Build English through topics, context and connected practice
Begin with a topic learners can understand and discuss
Browse English passages by topic and level, use a curated collection for a longer theme or create a new passage for the subject you are teaching. A shared idea gives new English a meaningful context.
Adjust the way into the text
Choose an approachable reading level, introduce the words needed for understanding and use Read Aloud when it is available. A connected version in another supported language can provide a temporary bridge while English stays central.
Move from supported reading to active use
Read and discuss together, answer comprehension questions, revisit useful vocabulary and continue online or with the available downloads. Learners can practice in a personal space without needing their own email address or password.
Questions, answered.
Can I adjust a passage to a different reading level?
Yes. Choose a reading level when you create a passage or re-level an existing passage so learners can work with the same topic at a more accessible level.
Can I translate an English passage into Spanish?
Yes. Remix can translate passages between English and Spanish, giving learners first-language support while you keep English learning central.
Can English learners listen to a passage?
When Read Aloud is available for an English passage, learners can listen before or during reading to hear pronunciation, rhythm and phrasing.
Can learners practice online and on paper?
Yes. Learners can read and answer questions online, and you can download and print materials when paper works better.
