How have the reading ages of the PM levels been established?
Reading ages of PM levels 1–14 are in the range of reading ages 5.0–6.5 years. The fine grading of the PM levelling makes it inappropriate to give a specific reading age to each of these individual levels. From level 15, the reading ages have been established using the Fry Readability Formula. Where two levels, such as 15 and 16, bridge a six-month reading age, then the first level, 15, will be closer to the bottom of the range, and the level following, 16, will be closer to the top of the range.
