How the levels work
Levels here are Peabody's own, not Lexile or guided-reading letters (those scales belong to other companies). Each passage is checked with the Flesch-Kincaid formula for its grade. A passage with three copies has an easier and a harder one written by a person, marked with a shape rather than a level so no child sees a label.
Nothing on this page asks for a name or saves anything. To see how a class is doing on assigned work, use class mode and its reports.
