Level Placement
Where Do I Start My Student?
The Reading Development Series is an accelerated program. If you are starting out at the beginning with a first grader, you start with Level 1. If you are entering the Reading Development Series at an older grade level, please refer to the chart below for grade equivalency.
Use = for students at this grade level
Level 1 = 1st Grade
Level 2 = 2nd to 3rd grade level
Level 3 = currently not available - coming 2016
Level 4 = 5th to 6th grade level
Level 5 = 6th to 7th grade level
Level 6 = 7th to 8th grade level
Level 7 = 9th to 10th grade level
Level 8 = 11th to 12th grade level
Due to the amount of content covered in Levels 7 and 8, it is perfectly acceptable to take two years on each of these levels. The other option, if you choose to use the Climbing to Good English in addition to the Reading Development Series, is to do Climbing to Good English one year and Reading Development the other.
