The big idea
AI can explain a textbook chapter at any reading level — use it to bridge to the real text, not skip the real text.
Some examples
- Paste a confusing paragraph and ask AI to ELI5 it.
- Ask AI: 'Explain this in 3 levels: 5th grade, 8th grade, then college.'
- After AI explains it, re-read the textbook section to lock it in.
Try it!
Find the most confusing paragraph in your hardest class. Ask AI to ELI5 it, then re-read the original.
