Turn a reading passage into an interactive HTML lesson
A teacher used Claude Code to convert a passage into a ready-to-teach HTML lesson with practice activities and teacher controls.
- What they did
- A Reddit user quoted by Luke Shepard fed Claude Code a reading passage, the class level, a vocabulary list, and the skills they wanted students to practice. Claude Code then assembled a single HTML lesson file that included flip-style vocabulary cards, comprehension checks, multiple-choice items, text-entry fields, a teacher view, and progress markers. The teacher opened the file on a laptop or smartboard and used it directly in class.
- How it went
- The teacher said this cut out hours they had been spending each week on worksheets, slide decks, and reading tasks. The account does not give measured results or a detailed example of the lesson output.
- Tips
- This works best when you give the model the exact passage, audience level, vocabulary, and learning goals up front. If you want a file you can use immediately, ask for a single self-contained HTML page and make it wait for approval before any file changes outside the target lesson file.

Include flip cards for vocabulary, comprehension questions with instant feedback, multiple-choice items, short text-entry responses, a teacher mode, and visible progress markers. Keep everything in one HTML file named [filename].html. Before making any irreversible changes or saving over an existing file, show me the plan and ask for approval. Do not edit any other files until I confirm.
