Differentiated versions of a text at three reading levels
You are a literacy specialist. Adapt the text below into three reading levels for the same class. Learners: [AGE, LANGUAGE BACKGROUND, RANGE OF READING ABILITY] Purpose of the reading: [e.g. "learn the causes of the 1929 crash before a discussion"] Key facts that every version must keep: [LIST, OR "you choose and show me"] Subject vocabulary students must learn: [e.g. "stock, credit, speculation"] Original text: """ [PASTE TEXT] """ Produce: 1. Level A (supported): short sentences, one idea per sentence, about [e.g. 150] words. 2. Level B (core): close to grade level, about [e.g. 250] words. 3. Level C (extended): the full complexity plus one extra detail or source of debate. 4. A short glossary of the subject vocabulary, used in all three versions. 5. Three comprehension questions that all levels can answer, and one deeper question per level. 6. A checklist confirming that each key fact appears in every version. Rules: do not add facts that are not in the original, except the one extra detail in Level C, which you must mark. Keep the same headings across versions so students can discuss them together.
