Adapt the passage, not the whole lesson.

Keep the strong starting point you already found and create the version each learner needs.

Keep the lesson connected

Use the same topic across different versions so learners can still share ideas and join the same discussion.

Reach different readers

Create a version that better fits the learner’s reading level or gives them support in English or Spanish.

Start from what already works

Adapt a passage you already chose instead of searching for or building a completely separate lesson.

Two ways to Remix

Change the level or change the language.

Choose the kind of adaptation you need. Your original passage stays available while Remix creates a separate version.

Level Remix

Keep the topic. Change the reading level.

Create an easier or more challenging version while keeping learners connected to the same subject and lesson direction.

Explore Level Remix

Language Remix

Keep the passage. Change the language.

Create an English or Spanish version to support bilingual classrooms, English learners and reading at home.

Questions, answered.

What can I remix?

Open a reading passage you created or found in PicoBuddy, then choose Remix to create a new version at another reading level or in another language.

Which levels and languages can I choose?

You can adapt a passage to another grade level or translate it between English and Spanish.

Does Remix change my original passage?

No. Remix creates a separate version and leaves the original passage unchanged, so you can keep and use both.

Does the new version include questions and downloads?

Yes. Remix creates questions and answers that fit the adapted passage. You can use the new version online, download it or print it.
