The same stories at all four levels, with sentences and words sized for each one.

How this news is written
An AI writes it every morning, and no person reviews it. It can contain mistakes of fact or language; when in doubt, trust your lessons.
The nikud comes from DICTA’s model (CC BY 4.0 license), and the voice is synthetic.
