- Children's English Reading Story Generation via Supervised Fine-Tuning of Compact LLMs with Controllable Difficulty and Safety (2026 · 1 citation)
Story generators for early readers often break a curriculum's constraints. The authors start from a K–2 phonics curriculum of 129 lessons, each listing its target phonemes, and 2,580 stories (ten per lesson) that GPT-4o and Llama 3.3 70B wrote zero-shot. They fine-tune three 8B models (Llama 3, Apertus, Granite 3.3)… - A Dataset for Oral Reading in Young English Readers (2026)
Few English child speech corpora focus on oral reading, and those that do (notably the CMU Kids Corpus) have weaknesses.
