This correlation chart illustrates how Learning A-Z levels approximately correlate to other leveling systems commonly
found in leveled reading materials. Learning A-Z uses objective (quantitative) and subjective (qualitative) Leveling
Criteria to measure text complexity. *Lexile ranges are provided only as an additional resource. They are estimates
and not certified by MetaMetrics. Their actual relationship to Learning A-Z levels has yet to be determined.
