How Our Reading Levels Work
Step 1
Browse by Reading Level
Use age, grade, or reading level filters to explore stories that feel just right for your learner. No testing, no pressure.
Step 2
Levels Grow With Your Reader
Each level focuses on specific reading skills like phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, and story structure, and gently builds from one to the next. Skill progression, not hard vs easy.
Step 3
Starter / Core / Stretch
Every level includes three options: Starter (A) for extra support, Core (B) for on-level reading, and Stretch (C) when they are ready for a challenge.
Step 4
Read at Your Own Pace
Kids can reread favorites, move ahead, or step back anytime. Progress is not linear, and that is okay.
