Field notes

The described reading-level check avoids asking for a child’s age or grade; the site says it uses a short game and adjusts its estimate as the child reads. Before a new story, children finish the previous one and answer a few comprehension questions, but the page says missed words do not lock them out. Stories shared in the library use a pen name, and the child’s hero is renamed for other readers.
