Multilingual reading guide

Translate reading passages without splitting the lesson

Language Remix starts with a reading passage you already chose and creates a separate version in another supported language. The original remains available, so teachers and families can keep both versions connected to the same subject, lesson direction, and classroom conversation.

PicoBuddy currently offers Language Remix in English, Latin American Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. This can support multilingual classrooms, English learners, bilingual programs, tutoring, and families who read together in more than one language.

Create questions that fit the translated passage

A translated passage is saved as its own version with comprehension questions and answers written for that text and target language. That helps each version remain internally consistent instead of attaching questions from the original language to a newly translated passage.

Because every version stays connected to the same source, adults can use one passage for instruction and another for language access while bringing readers back to the same ideas and discussion.

Use multilingual passages online or on paper

Open the new passage online for reading and comprehension practice, or use its available printable materials for small groups, tutoring, homework, and reading at home. Available supporting formats follow the language and passage itself.

Language Remix is included with PicoBuddy Pro and Max and does not use creation credits. Start with a passage from the catalog or one you created, then choose Remix and the supported target language you need.
