GEN: Book labeling for Reading level

[Steve Barnes <steveb@PCEZ.COM>]

My two cents worth,

     I think there is a strong argument for putting reading level
indicators at the back of books.

     Students can learn to determine reading levels on their own (with
assistance from educators -if needed).  When children (or others) who
are developing their reading abilities pick up a book, they could begin
determining by whatever criteria or whim whether they want to read that
book.  Since they are learning how to, among other things, determine
reading levels, any information we might want to give them should be
included at the back of the book for their reference -if needed.
