Question:
How does the readability score correlate to reading ability by grade level?
Answer:
The netTrekker Readability levels correlate this way:
- 1 - Level 1 (Grade 1-3)
- 2 - Level 2 (Grade 4-6)
- 3 - Level 3 (Grade 7-8)
- 4 - Level 4 (Grade 9-10)
- 5 - Level 5 (Grade 11-13)
- NA - Not Applicable
This information pops up as part of the Legend if you click on the readability score of any site in netTrekker. If you click “More” under a netTrekker site description in a search result, you will see readability levels for this site in other systems (Lexile, Gunning Fox, Flesch-Kincaid, etc.) along with a link to the readability information section of netTrekker Help.
