Diffit

Diffit specializes in adapting content to different reading levels. Simply enter an article, text, or even a general topic, and the tool instantly generates several versions of the same content at different difficulty levels, along with vocabulary lists, reading-comprehension questions, and summaries. This lets a teacher facing significant level gaps between students give each one a tailored text without writing everything from scratch.

The tool is mainly aimed at teachers dealing with differentiated instruction in heterogeneous classrooms, such as elementary and high school teachers teaching students with very different reading levels and abilities. Special education teachers and teachers of newly arrived immigrant students may also find great value in it, since it saves the need to manually write several versions of the same learning material. For schools with a diverse student population, it’s a tool that streamlines the preparation of every lesson.

The basic plan is free but limited, and teachers wanting full access to all features will need a premium plan with a monthly fee. It’s worth remembering that reading-level adaptation happens automatically, so it’s recommended that teachers review the resulting text to make sure the content stays accurate and doesn’t lose meaning in the simplification process. In large schools the cost may add up if the entire teaching staff uses the tool, so a school-wide license based on student count is also available.
