9、读测评体系的官网：lexile)：1、第1-24课的课文难度平均值为579L，说明这些课文的难度低于美国当地小学二年级学生的阅读水平(450L-620L)，但是同龄相对阅读能力还是偏弱的。2、第25-48课的课文难度平均值为798L，说明这些课文的难度基本相当于美国当地小学四年级学生的阅读水平(770L-910L)，其难度与第1-24课相比，一下子提升了一个年龄段的区间差，这也解释了为什么不少学生在进入第二单元学习时，一下子觉得无法适应。3、第49-72课的课文难度平均值为876L，这个难度相当于美国当地小学五年级学生的阅读水平(860L-980L)，但是同龄相对阅读能力还是偏低的。4、第73

10、-96课的课文难度平均值为897L，这个难度相当于美国当地小学五年级学生的阅读水平(860L-980L)，但是同龄相对阅读能力也还是偏低的。相信很多家长、学生或是老师看到这里，也会大松一口气，心想：还好，我们的孩子现在刚好在上小学四年级或五年级，正好适合学习第二册的内容。然而，事实根本不是这么回事!为什么?!因为美国当地小学四年级学生的阅读水平已经相当于我们中国当地高中一年级的水平了，而美国当地小学五年级学生的阅读水平已经相当于我们中国当地高中二、三年级的水平了!美国和中国学生阅读能力的对照情况，大家可以参考中国书飞网提供的一个参照表：美国教育年级美国教育级别LEXILE级别中国教育年级字数/
