Abstract
Adult Learning (AL) programmes need short, trustworthy texts that match learners’ reading abilities, but educators rarely have time, tools, or evidence-based guidelines to select and adapt materials consistently.We present a live demo of iRead4Skills for European Portuguese: a web-based system that (i) estimates readability/complexity for AL-oriented levels aligned with CEFR, (ii) highlights where complexity concentrates (lexical, grammatical, semantic), and (iii) supports rewriting by offering actionable, level-aware suggestions and curated lexical resources.The demo emphasises transparency and “trainer-first” workflows: users see *why* a text is complex and *how* to revise it without losing meaning.
