I created (with Claude code's help) a page to compare two texts --- to allow teachers to see exactly how a modified reading is different from the original. Many LLMs do not do a great job of modifying texts in the ways that teachers ask for. The "Reading Modification Analyzer" compares two texts and shows helpful data on how they differ.

The analyzer is at: https://spackman-chris.neocities.org/text-compare/text-compare

As always, feedback and suggestions are most welcome.

Reading Modification Analyzer

Compare original and modified reading texts to analyze changes for English Learners

BUT, keep in mind that simplifying a text for English Learners is NOT a best practice. It is much better to enhance or otherwise mark up the original reading to make it accessible to #EnglishLearners.

That said, simplifying has its uses --- like for quickly developing background knowledge or as an introduction before reading the original version.
