Within the annotations, the reading levels of curricula and readers are noted only when provided by the author or distributor. This index is intended to provide a rough guide to the reading levels of all the curricula and readers.

Materials are categorized roughly into these categories: beginning level materials are written at grade levels 1 to 4, or for beginning speakers of English; middle level materials are written at grade levels 5 to 7; and high level materials are written at grade levels 8 to 10, or for those in pre-GED or GED programs. Curricula written for a variety of audiences are listed under the category "multi-level."

For other reading materials that are easy-to-read, see the section titled Bibliographies and Databases. Many of the materials listed under Bibliographies and Databases will provide citations to limited literacy brochures and pamphlets. Also see the agencies listed in the sections Organizational Resources and Publishers and Distributors. Many of these agencies distribute limited literacy health information to the general public.
