Dear Marie,

I teach special ed, and your "rule of thumb" is what I've been doing as well. 
 Being that much of what we read in newspapers is written at a middle school 
level,  my experience has been that students who can read at the 7th to 8th 
grade lever are quite functional for the majority of the reading material 
they need to access.

Ellie
