One Google Tool I feel I can incorporate right away in my classroom in working more effectively with Google Searches.

I came across a tip from a posting by Tammy Worcester that outlines very clearly how a Google search can be filtered by “reading level” specific.

1. 1. Go to: www.google.com

2. 2.Click the “Advanced Search” link at the right of the search window.

   

3. Enter the desired keyword(s).

4. Use the “Reading Level” pull-down menu to choose the desired reading level:
   Basic (easy reading)
   Intermediate
   Advanced (more difficult reading levels)

   

5. Click the Advanced Search button at the bottom right.

6. The results page will show only pages with the desired reading level!

   

7. Click the links beside the bar graph at the top of the results page to switch to a different reading level. (See screen shot above.)
