How to find your first reading resource

You can start with material already in PicoBuddy. You do not need to generate a new passage first.

Find a passage

1. Open Reading passages.
2. Search for a topic your learner enjoys or a subject you are teaching.
3. Use the available grade and text-type filters to narrow the results.
4. Open a passage and read it before choosing it for your learner.

Check the vocabulary, length, questions, and background knowledge it requires. A grade label is a starting point, not a guarantee of suitability.

For a topic-based starting point, browse Themes. For printable activities, open Worksheets.

Keep it for later

Sign in and use the favorite control to save a resource. Use a collection when you want to group related materials.

See Find your collections and favorites.

Choose what happens next

• Read the passage with your learner.
• Open its printable options and check the download requirements.
• Put a supported activity on a child's Shelf when their profile and kid access are ready.

Browsing existing passages does not spend creation credits. Downloads and online practice follow their own allowances.
