Monsha's Adaptive Reading Passage Generator lets you create customised reading materials for different learners, based on a variety of sources. Without writing a single prompt, you can differentiate passages by grade level, reading complexity frameworks (like Bloom's, Lexile, or DOK), and length.
Step 1: Log in and access the tool
Go to app.monsha.ai and sign in or sign up.
From the list of tools, select Adaptive Reading Passage.
Step 2: (Optional) Assign to a course, unit, or lesson
You can attach your reading passage to a course, unit, or lesson. This helps keep your resources organised and aligned with any curriculum standards or objectives you’ve already set.
If you're not ready to assign it now, you can skip this step and come back to it later.
Step 3: Add your source material
Next, tell Monsha what you want the reading passage to focus on. This is how the AI understands the context and content it should generate. You can choose from a variety of input types, and even combine them for richer, more tailored outputs:
Topic or theme: Simply type a subject like "Renewable energy" or "Ancient Civilisations."
Text excerpts: Paste any block of text you want the passage to be based on.
Uploaded files: Add documents, slides, or images (e.g. PDF, DOCX, PPTX).
Web links: Use URLs from online articles, blogs, or reading materials.
YouTube videos: Paste a link and Monsha will analyse the full transcript.
Curriculum standards: Select frameworks like NGSS, CCSS, IB, or input your own.
Lesson objectives: If your resource is linked to a lesson, Monsha can automatically pull in and align with the objectives.
Existing Monsha resources: Reuse a worksheet, quiz, slide deck, or another reading passage you've already created.
For example, you could upload a PDF about the water cycle, paste a video link from YouTube, and add a lesson objective like "Describe the role of evaporation in the water cycle." Monsha will synthesise everything to build a focused and level-appropriate passage.
Step 4: Configure your passage
Use the available options to define your instructional needs:
Grade level: Choose from K-12 or higher education.
Language: Select from 60+ supported languages.
Length: Specify a rough word count, such as 300–400 words.
Reading framework (optional): Choose a framework to shape the passage’s complexity and purpose:
Bloom’s Taxonomy (e.g., Understand, Apply, Analyse)
Depth of Knowledge (DOK)
Lexile Reading Level
Additional instructions (optional): Include tone (e.g. formal, conversational), focus areas, or instructional constraints. For instance: "Use a storytelling tone and include real-world examples."
Step 5: Generate your passage
Click Generate, and Monsha will create your adaptive reading passage in just a few seconds.
After generating your reading passage
Once your adaptive reading passage is ready, here’s what you can do:
Edit and enhance
You can modify the passage using Monsha's built-in editor. Add images, charts, or tables to better support comprehension and engagement.
Customise with Quick Actions
Quick Actions let you fine-tune the passage instantly—whether you want to simplify the language, change the tone, or lengthen the text. These shortcuts help you revise quickly without having to manually rewrite anything.
Differentiate for multiple groups
Need versions for different reading levels or class groups? You can regenerate the same passage with new configurations—like a different grade level, Lexile range, or Bloom’s level. This makes it easy to adapt materials for diverse learners.
Export in your preferred format
Export your final version as a Google Doc, Word file, or PDF. This is helpful for sharing with students, printing, or integrating into other teaching platforms.
Generate more resources
Once you have your passage, you can use it to create related teaching materials:
Comprehension questions
Worksheets
Formative or summative assessments
All your reading passages and related resources are saved in your Monsha account, ready for reuse or future edits.
