I can find some information on readability, but nothing about what real teachers do in real classrooms. There is grade level...but how do you figure it? There is functional level, which is extrapolated from grade level... Then there is what I'll call language level, which depends on the teacher knowing sequence of highest probability of sounds and sound combinations in English, plus some sight words thrown in. Thanks for any help--examples, references, guides, etc. Ignorant in Cambridge, Andrea
