A teacher tool that turns a topic, article, video or text into leveled reading passages with vocabulary, questions and graphic organizers, ready to print or share. Teachers use it to give a whole class the same content at different reading levels, or to build supports for English learners and students in intervention. Diffit is made for adults only: students get the printed or shared materials, not their own accounts.
Our take: A helpful, low-risk tool for teachers and homeschool parents preparing reading at several levels; there is nothing here for a child to use alone.

Stefan Seegerer and Annabel Lindner (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) · ages about 10-18 (designed for lower and upper secondary; some activities adapt for primary)
