Google Search and Reading Levels


You are able to check the reading level of non-fiction text by using the advanced feature in Google Search.


How To Google Search By Reading Level
1. First, choose a term, and Google it as you always have, whether you’re looking for a copyright-free version of an American classic or National Geographic's Animal Jam.

2. Next, click “Advanced Search” which is located at the bottom of the search page.

3. Scroll to the bottom, and filter results by reading level.  Use the drop down arrow to reveal your options for narrowing your search.googlenarrow.JPG

After you have clicked on the "Advanced Search" button, your search page will reload with this information located at the top of the page.
You are able to sort search results for the three levels.
