Choose by how your school works

Mostly printing, or creating for the classroom?

The right option depends on whether teachers mainly download ready-made material or also create, adapt and assign it online.

Choose Print for ready-made PDFs

For teachers who mainly want unlimited standard PDF downloads from the public English passage library. Print does not add creation credits, Remix, workbooks or online-practice allowances.

Choose Pro or Max to create and adapt

Pro and Max add creation, Remix, editable Word files, workbooks and unlimited practice. Max is the stronger fit when a class needs more learner profiles and a higher creation volume.

PicoBuddy for schools

A consistent resource workflow without identical lessons

Give teachers a useful starting point

Schools can use PicoBuddy as one familiar route from topic to classroom material. Teachers browse a ready-made passage or create something new, choose an appropriate level and then decide whether learners work online or on paper.

Keep classroom decisions with the teacher

A shared workflow does not mean every class receives the same text. Teachers can keep a common theme while choosing the reading level, questions and format that suit their own group.

Match the plan to the main job

PicoBuddy Print is the focused option for standard PDFs from the public English passage library. Schools that want teachers to create, adapt, build workbooks or support online learner practice should compare Pro and Max, with Max intended for higher learner and creation volume.

Questions, answered.

Can teachers adjust materials for different reading levels?

Yes. Choose a grade or English reading level, or adapt an existing passage while keeping the class on the same topic.

Does PicoBuddy create the questions too?

Yes. A generated reading passage includes multiple-choice questions, open questions and an answer key, so teachers have a complete activity to start from.

Can teachers turn saved materials into a workbook?

Yes. With Pro, teachers can organize materials in a collection and download them together as a printable workbook.

Can learners practice online in a safe environment?

Yes. Each learner uses their own child-friendly practice space through a private link, QR code or temporary 6-digit code, without needing an email address or password. The number of learner profiles depends on the plan.
