Reading level

Post by Janphillips » Wed May 16, 2018 8:59 am

Does anyone know the reading level of The Bears on Hemlock Mountain and The Courage of Sarah Noble? I tried to research it, but couldn’t find definitive answers.

You aren't going to find one answer for reading level. That is because each measure of difficulty focuses on different things: word length, sentences length, number of words on a page, text size, etc. There isn't just one reliable measure for reading level.

Carrie took the common reading level measures for each book and came up with her own reading level. She took into consideration many things to get her reading levels, which I find fairly accurate. She mostly them both as 3.4 reading level.

The reading level of each of the ER books is listed in the appendix of the Beyond and Bigger guides, before the schedule for the books and questions.
