Google Search by Reading Level

I'm very excited to share this awesome technology tip with you! I will show you how to do a Google search by reading level.


First, go to Google and enter the topic of choice. 


Since I'm still amazed by our marine science students who recently taught 2nd graders, I chose to enter "marine life" as my topic.


After you enter your topic, click on the Search Tools button. You will then have an option called All results (see picture above). Click on All results for more options. 


After you click on All results, you will have a drop-down list appear. From the list, choose Reading level


BINGO! Now you (or your students) can choose the reading level of the results. 

I love this tip! Have you used it before? I would love to hear how you or your students use it.

  4. Thank you so much for this smart tool. It is time consuming when we need specific search results according to the specific reading level. This also shows that technology and education are very connected and intermingled with each other.

  5. I have known about this resource, but have yet to use it with students. This coming school year will be the first for me. Do you know what reading levels are considered under each level? Which grades should be using basic, intermediate and advanced?

  8. This is a great tip but when I try it, the drop down menu doesn't appear. It just say all results with a tick and the word Verbatim underneath. Any ideas please?
