LEVEL 4 WC
Written Comprehension – Level 4
When texts or documents are simple, a few paragraphs long, and deal with concrete, familiar topics, level 4 readers can find specific information, identify the order of the steps involved and answer general comprehension questions (who? what? when? where?). They can understand, for example, announcements and directions for use. They can also place events in time thanks to common time markers, and compare simple information of the same nature in order to make a choice.
