Reading levels (verified against standard readability measures):
Easy: clear, everyday passages at roughly a middle-school reading level (grades 6–8) — a gentle warm-up for adult readers and approachable practice for English learners.
Medium: high-school-level reading (grades 9–12) with more expository structure and cause-and-effect reasoning — about the typical adult, general-reader level.
Advanced: dense, argument-driven passages at a college and university reading level, with qualified claims and subtle distinctions — matched to SAT, ACT, IELTS, and TOEFL reading.
Genres: Story / Everyday (narratives and real-life situations), Science / Academic (expository and scientific passages), and Functional / Argument (instructions, notices, and persuasive writing — the reading standardized tests lean on most).
Each passage carries one question of each type: Main Idea, Detail, Inference, Vocabulary in context, and Author's Purpose. It works equally well as a reading comprehension test for adults and as practice for high school, college, and university students.
