Monsha's Reading Passage Generator lets you create customised reading materials for different learners, drawn from a variety of sources. Without writing a single prompt, you can differentiate passages by grade level, passage type, reading-complexity framework (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 Reading Passage.
Step 2: Add your requirements and sources
Now it's time to set up your passage.
1. Describe your requirement. Enter your prompt, topic, or instructions in the textarea at the top. Monsha keeps things context-driven — a short description ("a passage on Newton's Second Law for Grade 9 Science", or "a narrative piece on Ancient Egypt") is usually enough.
2. Add sources with Attach. Click the Attach dropdown under the textarea to combine multiple inputs:
Video — paste a YouTube link and Monsha will pull the transcript.
File — upload documents, slides, spreadsheets, or images.
Website — drop in a URL from an article, blog post, textbook, or PDF.
Text — paste raw text directly.
Monsha Resource — reuse one of your existing resources (a worksheet, lesson plan, prior passage, etc.).
You're free to combine multiple sources for richer, more relevant content.
3. Reuse a past prompt with History. Next to Attach, the History button opens a Prompt History panel showing every prompt you've run before with timestamps. Click any entry to load it back into the textarea — handy when you want to re-run a working prompt with a small tweak.
4. Choose the passage length. Open the Passage length dropdown and pick one:
300–400 words
400–600 words
600+ words
5. Pick the passage type. The Passage type dropdown sets the style and structure of the writing:
Narrative — story-driven, with a beginning, middle, and end.
Descriptive — focused on vivid detail and sensory language.
Argumentative — makes a claim and supports it with reasoning.
Informative — explains a topic clearly and factually.
Regulatory — instructional or rule-based (procedures, guidelines, codes).
6. Set the grade level. Click the Grade picker and choose from any of Monsha's supported education systems — United States / Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, India / South Asia, IB, Cambridge, Age-Based, or University / Tertiary. Each system opens its own sub-levels (Early Years, Elementary, Middle School, High School, etc.) and then the specific grade.
7. Pick the language. The Language dropdown lists 60+ languages with flags. Default is English.
Step 3: Align and fine-tune your resource (optional)
Click More Options if you want to bind the passage to a course or framework before generating.
Attach to course — organise your passage under a specific course, unit, or lesson for curriculum alignment.
Assign standards — choose from built-in standards (Common Core, NGSS, IB, and more) or enter your own.
Adapt to framework — tune tone, complexity, or structure to Bloom's Taxonomy, Lexile Reading Levels, or Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Levels.
This step is optional — you can always skip it and add alignment later.
Toggle Web search if you want Monsha to pull from the open web while drafting. The toggle sits to the right of the Generate button.
Click Generate. Monsha will create your reading passage in a few seconds.
What can you do after generating your reading passage?
1. Chat with your content
Keep the conversation going. Ask Monsha to revise the passage, generate follow-up questions, adapt the text for different groups or levels, or brainstorm new comprehension activities — all in one continuous thread, just like ChatGPT.
Use the Quick prompts menu at the bottom-left of the chat bar to pick from prompt suggestions tailored to your passage:
Make shorter — trim the passage down.
Make it engaging — add hooks, voice, and momentum.
Create another variation — generate a fresh version on the same topic.
Focus more on — narrow the passage to a specific angle.
Difficulty → — open a submenu to Simplify, Make it harder, or generate Diverse difficulty levels.
Add visuals → — add diagrams, images, or layout elements.
Change tone → — shift the voice (formal, informal, storyteller, etc.).
You can also click the globe icon to let Monsha search the internet while answering, or Attach to drop in another source mid-conversation.
Each generated passage comes with action buttons in the top-right of the content card — Edit, Export, and More — for the next steps.
2. Edit and enhance
Click Edit on the content card to open the rich-text editor. The toolbar lets you add headings, tables, code blocks, quotes, dividers, bulleted and numbered lists, to-do lists, toggle lists, images, links, a table of contents, and equations — alongside standard formatting (bold, italic, underline, alignment, undo/redo). When you're done, click Save to lock the changes in or Cancel to back out.
3. Differentiate teaching resources
From the content card's More menu, choose Differentiate to open a modal with five ways to adapt the same passage for different learners:
Translate into any of the 60+ supported languages.
Adjust Grade Level to make the passage simpler or more advanced.
Adjust DOK Level to change the depth of thinking it demands.
Adjust Lexile Reading Level to tune readability precisely.
Adapt to Bloom's Taxonomy to target a specific cognitive level.
4. Export generated resources
Click Export on the content card to open the Export Resource modal. For reading passages, you can:
Export to Google Docs — open the passage in a fresh Google Doc.
Share to Google Classroom — push it straight to a class as an assignment or material.
Download as DOCX — save a Word file.
Download as PDF — save a print-ready PDF.
Your passages stay saved in your Monsha account, ready to reuse, re-export, or edit any time.
5. Other actions on the content card
The More menu on the content card also gives you:
Copy — copy the passage text to your clipboard.
Create more resources based on this output — spin off worksheets, questions, lesson plans, or other resources using this passage as the seed.
Show sources — see which inputs Monsha used to draft the passage.
Delete — remove the resource.
At the top of the page, the title card has its own More menu with See Prompt (review the exact prompt that produced this passage) and Create based on this (build a new resource starting from the same prompt). Use Share next to it to send a public link, copy a shareable URL, or email the passage to colleagues.
