Differentiating instruction is one of the most effective ways to meet the diverse needs of students in the classroom. Brisk’s “Change Levels” feature offers a powerful solution by converting any online text into a Google Doc that adjusts reading levels, translates the content into another language, or both. This flexibility ensures that all students can access and engage with classroom materials, no matter their proficiency.
Research shows that providing reading materials at varying difficulty levels significantly improves comprehension (Tomlinson, 2001). Brisk’s “Change Levels” feature allows teachers to tailor content based on individual student needs, ensuring the content remains accessible and challenging. Moreover, by translating materials for English Language Learners (ELLs), Brisk helps bridge language gaps, supporting bilingual education models that have been proven to enhance language development and content mastery (Cummins, 2000).
For any teacher looking to make their classroom more inclusive, Brisk’s “Change Levels” is an invaluable tool that ensures every student can learn at their own pace.
