Which level is defined by reading a continuous text with 93-100% accuracy?

• A. Independent level
• B. Instructional level
• C. Frustration level
• D. Passive level

Answer: (A)

High accuracy on a continuous text shows the reader is operating at an independent level. When a reader is accurate 93–100% of the time, they recognize most words automatically, maintain a steady pace, and understand the material without needing ongoing help. This means they can read on their own and still grasp the meaning. If accuracy were a bit lower, around 90–94%, some guidance might help, which would be the instructional level. Below about 90% accuracy, comprehension often falters, aligning with the frustration level. So, 93–100% fits independent level. The term passive level isn’t part of these reading-level categories.
