Reading levels are fundamental to the American and Brazilian education systems for curriculum planning and differentiated instruction. In the USA, reading levels are often measured by standardized tests and guided reading levels (Fountas & Pinnell system). In Brazil, similar concepts are used in educational assessments, though the terminology may vary slightly. This metric is crucial for identifying students who need additional support or enrichment in reading skills.
