regarded sources <strong>and</strong> by those based on expert professional practice. You get:<br />

read<br />

Three or more comprehension questions (<strong>with</strong> answers) per card designed to check for underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong><br />

retention<br />

Passages arranged by readability level according to the Flesch-Kincaid statistics<br />

More than 30 cards at each of the following readability levels: 4.0-4.4, 4.5-4.9, 5.0-5.4, 5.5-5.9, 6.0-6.4, <strong>and</strong><br />
