As an educator, you can customize the reading level for individual students in your class to support their learning needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change the reading level for your students.
Available Reading Levels
Standard: This is the default reading level.
Simplified: This option presents text at a lower reading level, designed to support students who need extra assistance with comprehension.
Steps to Change the Reading Level for a Student
Navigate to Your Class: On your dashboard, select the class where you want to adjust reading levels for students.
Open the Class Roster: Inside the class, click on the 'People' tab to view your list of students.
Adjust the Reading Level: In the ‘Reading Level’ column, click on the ‘Standard’ label or select the ellipses in the ‘Actions’ column and choose ‘Change Reading Level.’ Then, select one of the following options:
Standard (default)
Simplified (lower reading level)
How to experience the Simplified experience as an Educator

Things to Keep in Mind
Students are not notified when their reading level is adjusted; only educators have access to this feature and its settings.
When a student joins your class, their reading level is automatically set to the Standard setting
The reading level you set for a student applies only to the current class. If the student switches to a different class, their reading level will be reset to the default of Standard.
This feature also works for students learning in Spanish.
By customizing the reading level for each student, you can ensure they are engaging with content at a level that matches their needs.
