Continuous Scale Instead of Fixed Levels

Traditional systems use discrete, age-based steps. FRS does things differently:

• Texts receive a decimal level, like 2.4 or 5.7, which allows subtle differences to be detected.

• This lets teachers fine-tune differentiation both between students and between texts.

AI-Supported and Scalable

FRS is more than a scale — it's an AI-driven system that:

• Automatically evaluates texts for reading difficulty.

• Generates new texts based on a topic and desired difficulty level.

• Creates summaries and questions tailored to the student’s reading level.

This means teachers spend less time searching or adapting materials — and more time guiding learners.

Pedagogical Applications in the Classroom

FRS supports:

• Adaptive reading instruction, with texts matched to individual levels.

• Diagnostic reading, offering students texts at varying difficulty to assess ability.

• Pre- and post-reading measurement, fully integrated with tools like Microsoft Reading Progress.

This provides schools with clear data on what actually works, which approaches deliver results, and which students need extra support.

Open and Widely Applicable

FRS is an open standard — free to use for everyone:

• Teachers can test the level of their own texts.

• Parents can check whether a book is suitable for their child.

• Researchers and educational publishers can use FRS in learning pathways and educational content.

FRS is freely accessible as an analysis tool, with an optional school app offering dashboards, shared libraries, and student tracking for those who need more.
