Articles are written with three levels of increasing text complexity to align with Common Core State Standards.[1]
- The lead section is written with the least complexity (2nd grade level).
- The main article is written at third-grade level.
- The advanced section is written at a higher level (±5th grade).
Change headers and sidebar to fit article.
