Grades, translated to every scale
If school sends home a Lexile measure, an ATOS zone, or a guided-reading letter, this is how it all lines up.

Ranges follow published grade-level charts for each system and overlap on purpose—readers rarely sit inside one tidy box. Bookroo's level filters run on Lexile measures, so ATOS and Fountas & Pinnell ranges are translated to their closest Lexile equivalents when you browse.
