Reading Comprehension Passage with Questions: This document was created with a free AI tool called Diffit. With it, you can easily generate reading passages about any topic you’re studying with your kids. Type in your topic, (eg. food chains and food webs), choose the grade level, (this one is fifth grade) upload an image if you want, and Diffit automatically generates vocabulary, reading passage (with cited sources), a summary of the text, and questions (multiple choice, short answer, and open ended). You can then save it as a Google Doc or PDF for printing (with or without an answer key). Diffit also has templates for creating all kinds of other worksheets that can be printed or used online.

Thanks!
