Google by Reading Level

If you have young children in the house who need to search the internet for either school related research information or possibly for their own curiousity, then you need to know about Googles new search feature allowing you to set specific reading levels on search results.
To search Google by reading level, Google has published the following steps:
  1. Click More search tools on the left side of the search results page.
  2. Click Reading level. You’ll now see results annotated with reading levels as well as a percentage breakdown of results by reading level.
  3. To filter your results by a specific reading level, select your desired level (Basic, Intermediate, orAdvanced).
  4. At any time, you can click the X in the right corner of the blue bar beneath the search box to go back to seeing all results.
I tried searching on "titanic" and it was interesting to note the changes to the search results when clicking on the various reading levels.  Try it out!
