Steve had a pick. He went to dig in the rock. Chip, chip, chip! He got a red gem. Then a bat swung past him. Steve ran up the path with his sack. He shut the hatch with a bang. The gem is in his chest. What luck!
Selected Patterns
The same tools, three different jobs
Pick yours. Each page shows how it works for you.
I’m a parent
A 5-minute reading check finds your child’s level. Then a guided practice plan gives you one 10-minute activity at a time, reading they can win at. No phonics training required.
How it works for parents →I’m a tutor
Set each student’s progress in their profile, then every passage, word sort, and parent update matches it exactly. We have a typical OG sequence as well as Barton, Wilson, and PAF (more coming!).
How it works for tutors →I’m a teacher
Differentiated small-group materials, every group reading the same topic at its own level, without giving up your weekend to make them.
How it works for teachers →Sound familiar?
DIY takes forever
You can hand-build your passages, or search your materials for the one that matches what you’re working on, but all of that takes time. And when a student is stuck, recycling the same materials leads to memorization, not learning.
Generic worksheets
"Jan sat on a log." Your kid doesn’t care about Jan. And the patterns don’t match what they’re practicing.
The tutoring gap
You’re paying $85–125/hour for specialized tutoring. But between sessions? No easy way to reinforce what they’re learning.
How it works
Custom decodable materials in under 30 seconds
Set up the reader
Parents: a 5-minute reading check finds your child’s level, and their age shapes what the stories are about. Tutors and teachers: set each student’s place in Barton, Wilson, PAF, or your OG-aligned scope & sequence.
Pick a topic they love
Monster trucks? Taylor Swift? Minecraft? Enter any topic and the passage will be about something they want to read.
Generate & print
Pick a tool, hit generate, and get a decodable passage, mad libs, an ongoing story, or any article rewritten at your student's level, every word matched to what they can decode, with optional comprehension questions, fluency checks and more.
Activities kids will enjoy
Activities built around your student’s interests and matched to their exact phonics patterns. Print them out, or work right on the screen.
Article Rewriter
Paste any article (sports, gaming, animals, whatever they’re into) and it rewrites it at their exact decoding level using their target patterns.
Paragraph Generator
Pick a topic they care about (dragons, soccer, slime) and get a printable passage with comprehension questions on the back.
Story Series
A story that continues across sessions. Each chapter unlocks the next pattern in your sequence. Kids want to know what happens next.
Mad Libs
Silly fill-in-the-blanks that hide phonics practice inside the joke. Print it, have them give you the words, put it together and laugh.
Word Sorts
3-column printable sorts using student selections.
Morphology Generator
Printable prefix, root, and suffix worksheets.
Fluency Pyramid
Builds a sentence one word at a time: each line adds the next word, so kids reread and pick up speed and confidence by the time they hit the full sentence.
Sight Word Practice
Flashcard drills for the words that can’t be sounded out: read, say, trace, cover-write-check. Printable cards included.
What early users are saying
"I was spending 45 minutes before each session making worksheets. Now I generate exactly what I need in under a minute."
"My son hates reading practice. But when the passage was about Monster Trucks, he actually asked to do another one."
"Finally something that actually follows our Barton sequence. I don’t have to check every word anymore."

Born from a real classroom problem
ReadingTools.ai was created by a reading interventionist at a private dyslexia school. Teaching was the straightforward part. The endless search for practice materials that matched what each student was working on was not.
Parents were asking for things to do between sessions aligned to what their child was working on. Building them by hand was taking too long. This site was built to solve these challenges.
