I suggest that you click on this option and look at some of them.
For example, I have searched for “Ned Kelly” and then selected Reading Level. Google sorts the results into one of three reading levels. Here is the result:
Select the Basic level and Google filters forward the Basic level articles.
How does Google do it? Well they actually asked teachers! Teachers were asked to rate a wide range of texts from which Google developed a statistical model which is applied to text scanned on the internet. This may still not produce results which are fully reliable but it will help produce results better suited to, say, lower end readers.
Why don’t you try one of the other search options – for example – try Location and filter results using this method – gets rid of all those annoying American sites!
Enjoy!
