French Translated Books and Leveling
Raz-Kids English leveled books have been carefully written using stringent guidelines and the proprietary, best-in-class Learning A-Z Text Leveling System to ensure accuracy and consistency.
French translators closely review the English Leveling Criteria as part of the translations process, but some books might seem easier or more difficult in French than their English level specifies.
Teachers can use the English levels on the French books as a reference point, but should use their professional knowledge when determining which French Translated Leveled Books are the best fit for individual students.
