Kodomo Reads

Oxford Reading Tree is a reading series; Oxford Levels describe book difficulty from 1–20. Read with Oxford uses six broader home-reading stages: Stage 1→Levels 1/1+, 2→2/3, 3→4/5, 4→6/7, 5→8/9, 6→10/11/12. Check the exact edition’s label.

No. Book levels describe reading demands, while the main CEFR levels A1–C2 describe language proficiency. Our reading-ability labels are editorial guidance, not an official assessment. Consider understanding, interest and independence as well as age.

Eiken includes Grade Pre-2 Plus. CEFR reporting depends on both the test grade and CSE score, not simply the grade passed. Grades 4 and 5 do not report a CEFR level; a test result should not be treated as proof of every language skill.

Young learners can take Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers and A2 Flyers, followed by A2 Key, B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency. These names identify target exam levels. Use the individual score report to understand actual performance.

TOEIC commonly assesses workplace English; TOEFL iBT assesses academic English. TOEIC Listening & Reading (10–990) does not include the separate Speaking & Writing tests. TOEFL Primary, Junior and iBT are different tests. None directly determines whether a child will enjoy or understand a particular book.

From January 21, 2026, TOEFL iBT uses a 1–6 scale in half-point increments. A comparable overall 0–120 score is also supplied during a two-year transition. Always check the test version and date when comparing scores.
