text leveling

Text leveling is the process of assessing and assigning a reading difficulty level to a book or passage. This helps teachers, students, and parents select appropriate materials that match a reader’s skill, promoting better comprehension and confidence. Factors considered include vocabulary complexity, sentence structure, and content, which are often evaluated using standardized tools or criteria. Essentially, text leveling ensures that the materials are neither too easy nor too difficult, supporting steady literacy development and allowing for tailored instruction suitable to the reader’s current abilities.
