Q: What reading level does Your News address?
A: We try to avoid categorizing Your News as to reading level because much depends on the instructor's methodology in using the materials it provides. Furthermore, student skill levels vary, and the definition of the standards themselves are often differentiated among school districts, depending on their location. Nevertheless, it would be fair to say that Your News addresses around a "Sixth Grade" reading level, as defined by the Gunning Fog index, the Flesch formula, or the Power Sumner Kearl formula.
