Creating a random story based on input

Hello all,

I am a school teacher in Ontario, Canada. This year, I am helping quite a number of students at my school who are having trouble with reading. I would like to create a random paragraph generator based on their reading level and I thought I’d check here to see if it is even possible.

My idea is to have 6 categories that correspond to the reading skills being addressed. For each category, there would be 4 sets of sentences available, each set corresponding to the reading level.

For example, if Billy is at a level 2 in decoding digraphs, level 1 at decoding short vowel sounds, etc. I would put these levels in the corresponding boxes and click ‘Submit’. The generator would then use the scores to look at the lists under each of the six categories (digraphs, short vowels, etc.) and randomly select a sentence from the corresponding levels. It would then return a paragraph including all six sentences.

It would be even better if there was a way to personalize the sentences with the kids names and pronouns . . . (doesn’t hurt to ask 😉

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
