The lowest level is Level 0 and the highest is Level 6. The "easier" lesson has four levels (0, 1, 2 and 3). The "harder lesson has 3 levels (4, 5 and 6).

If Level 3 is difficult, try Level 2, 1 or 0. If Level 6 is difficult, try Level 5 or 4.
If Level 1 is easy, try Level 2 or 3. If level 4 is easy, try Level 5.

All levels have a graded news reading and listening (the same text at 5 speeds), a printable PDF, speed reading, and many online quizzes and activities.

Levels 3 and 6 are BIG lessons - a 27-Page PDF, a 2-page mini handout, more online activities, dictation, vocabulary quizzes, etc.
