Set up Leveled Reader Levels

Bloom comes with a set of basic levels. You can edit these to suit your needs, or make additional levels.

note

Creating a set of leveling criteria is usually done by someone with special skills in literacy education.

  1. Open the Leveled Reader tool

  2. Click the Set up Levels button (located at the top of the Leveled Reader tool) to display the Set up Leveled Reader Tool dialog box.

  3. For each level:

    1. Edit the Maximums: letters in a word, words in a sentence, words per page, etc. If you do not want to define a given maximum length, you can leave it blank.

    2. Add any additional notes in the “Things to remember for this level” field.

    3. Click the Add Level link to add a level to the list of levels.

    4. If you need to remove a level, click the Remove Level link at the lower right-hand corner of the levels list.

  4. Bloom knows about most punctuation marks that are used to end a sentence. If your language uses other punctuation marks to end a sentence, you can tell Bloom about them by listing them in the Punctation tab. (This step is optional.)

    tip

    If you need to list more than one punctuation character, add them to the box without any dividers or punctuation between them.
