How to use this tool
Reading-level systems are helpful, but they are not exact translations of one another. This converter is designed to give teachers a fast, practical crosswalk they can use while planning instruction, choosing books, or communicating with families.
Use the result as an approximate planning guide. If your district uses a specific benchmark chart or your books come with publisher-provided levels, those sources should still take priority over any generalized conversion table.
