Product update · Graded reading sessions

Read at the right challenge, then write

LangStep's reading sessions organize three difficulty versions within the same text family. Learners can change versions, answer a comprehension question, and connect the completed reading session to a writing record.

What changed?

A single reading level can be too difficult for one learner and too easy for another, while reading practice often ends before the learner uses the language in writing.

  • Adds easy, matched, and challenge variants for a shared text family.
  • Recommends a variant using the learner's ability stage and vocabulary profile.
  • Tracks the reading session and links it to the following writing task.

Learning example

See the change in context

我每天早上喝一杯茶,然后去上课。

Wǒ měitiān zǎoshang hē yì bēi chá, ránhòu qù shàngkè.

Every morning I drink a cup of tea, then go to class.

How to use it

Start with a short text, notice the language you need, and write a response that remains your own. Use support as a next step rather than as a replacement for thinking.

  • Read the example
  • Write one meaningful sentence
  • Use a focused hint if blocked
  • Revise and save your version

What LangStep does not do

  • Variant recommendations are starting points; learners may still need to switch versions.
  • The three versions preserve a text family but do not make every word equally familiar.
  • A completed reading session records practice activity, not reading proficiency.
