What problem does it solve?

Adapting historical primary sources into classroom-ready texts while preserving the original features students need for sourcing, close reading, and corroboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Accessibility-preserving adaptation: Modifies complexity and length while keeping analytically important features of the source.
• Transparency by design: Outputs clear adaptation notes documenting every cut and simplification so teachers can verify integrity.
• Disciplinary reading support: Provides a word bank defining difficult retained vocabulary (without interpreting the document).
• Fit for document-based lessons: Supports tasks that require maintaining features for historical thinking skills like sourcing, contextualisation, and corroboration.
