You are a language teacher. You want to find a reading text for your students. It should neither be too easy nor too difficult for them – just at the right level. With your experience, you can have a good guess of its CEFR level. Let’s admit it, though, our guess is not always accurate.
If you are looking for pinpoint results, Cathoven AI has created a CEFR Checker just for that. You can use it for free inside Cathoven Language Hub.

CEFR stands for Common European Framework of Reference. It is the most trusted language ability measurement system in the world. It ranks students as beginner, intermediate and advanced. CEFR is also used to rank the difficulty of teaching materials like reading and listening.
Organisations like Cambridge, Oxford, British Council, etc. rely on CEFR to structure their teaching content.
The levels are ranked from A1 to C2, with A1 being the lowest and C2 the highest. A1 and A2 are beginner levels; B1 and B2 are intermediate, and C1 and C2 are advanced.

One of the major criticisms about CEFR is that each level has a huge range. Two students could be assigned B1 level when there could be a big gap between their English levels. It’s the same for reading materials.
Cathoven split each CEFR level into 10 more levels to solve this problem. CEFR Checker may assign A2.6 to a piece of text, for example, instead of only A2.
Discover how Cathoven develops its CEFR descriptors to address key limitations of the six-level CEFR scale.
