The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an international standard for describing language ability. It describes language ability on a six-point scale, from A1 for beginners, up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. The levels are defined through ‘can-do’ descriptors. This makes it easy for anyone involved in language teaching and testing, such as teachers or learners, to see the level of different qualifications.
GRL (Guided Reading Level)
The reading levels developed by scholars, Fountas and Pinnell, have been scientifically categorized based on parameters such as the total number of words used, the number of frequently used words, the length of sentences, the complexity of sentences, the repetition of words, and the use of illustrations. GRL provides the standard for classifying the level of storybooks with text and illustrations, and is used for classifying textbooks according to U.S. elementary school grade levels. Displayed alphabetically from A to Z, it goes from level A, which uses topic familiar to children, repeated patterns in the text, and illustrations to help students understand, to levels Y and Z, which include social and scientific subjects and stories with complex plots.
