Unlocking Literacy Power: Applying the Readable English Markup to HQIM and AI-Created Content

Written by Anna Boyle | May 7, 2025

We are living in a golden age of educational technology. Tools like Magic School are using artificial intelligence to tailor and generate classroom content in seconds, while high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) like Illustrative Math are raising the bar for what students can achieve across disciplines. But here’s the catch: if your students can’t efficiently read the very materials these platforms provide, their learning stalls before it ever begins.

Let’s face it. There's a massive gap between the rigor of today’s curriculum and the reality of students’ reading abilities. 

In the average classroom, more than half of older elementary and secondary students struggle to access grade-level text. Even the best AI in the world, or the most thoughtfully designed math lesson, can’t close that gap, unless we bridge it at the word level.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to our upcoming 15-minute webinar: “Unlocking Literacy Power, Applying the Readable English Markup to HQIM and AI-Created Content.”

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT READABLE ENGLISH?

Readable English makes every English word instantly decodable by adding a layer of visual cues (the markup) that clarifies pronunciation. Imagine pasting any paragraph—whether it comes from an AI writing tool or a rigorous math curriculum—into a tool and seeing every tricky part of English demystified. Suddenly, students who’ve always felt “behind” can read, understand, and engage with grade-level materials… right alongside their classmates.

IN THIS brief yet powerful WEBINAR, YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How to instantly mark up AI-generated lesson content (from Magic School, ChatGPT, and more) so every student can access it.
  • How to transform HQIM passages and math problems (including Illustrative Math) into truly inclusive texts.
  • Step-by-step: A workflow that fits right into your planning in under 5 minutes per lesson.
  • Why the combination of advanced instructional content and the Readable English markup is a game-changer for reading growth and academic confidence.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Teachers (K-12, all subjects!), interventionists, curriculum leaders, EdTech lovers, and anyone who’s tired of rewriting materials or watching students get left behind.

Bring your curiosity, your favorite piece of curriculum, or an AI prompt you want to try. We’ll show you how simple it is to put breakthrough literacy within every child’s reach.
