Differentiated reading guide
Differentiate reading passages without rebuilding the lesson
Reading differentiation works best when students can join the same lesson without being asked to struggle through identical text. PicoBuddy Remix starts with a passage you already chose and creates a separate version at another grade level. The topic stays familiar, while sentence structure, vocabulary, text length, questions, and supporting details can be adjusted for the new reading level.
This makes it easier to plan for mixed-ability classrooms, intervention groups, tutoring, and homeschool families. Instead of searching for several unrelated texts, adults can build a small set of connected versions and keep the discussion centered on one subject.
Move up or down while keeping one shared topic
Open a reading passage, choose Remix, and select the grade level you need. PicoBuddy saves the adapted passage as a separate version, so the original remains available. Teachers can use one version for whole-class modeling and another for supported or extended reading without losing the connection between the materials.
The adapted version receives questions and answers that fit its own text. This keeps each version internally consistent while helping the class work toward the same lesson objective and discuss the same core ideas.
Use each version online or on paper
Students can read a remixed passage online, use available read-aloud support, answer comprehension questions, or complete a quiz. When paper works better, download the passage and its available printable activities for a reading group, tutoring session, homework, or independent practice.
Remix is included with PicoBuddy Pro and Max and does not use creation credits. That makes it practical to prepare several connected versions around the same topic while keeping regular creation credits available for new passages and activities.
