Level Learning now serves over two-thirds of all Mandarin DLI programs across the United States. Most programs have been implementing Level Learning for multiple years, and the quality of implementation has continued to improve. Based on the data collected, these are the end-of-year reading level benchmarks.

Note: These benchmarks are a reference, not a limit. Students may perform above or below the benchmark based on their individual language development and program context.

We were able to collect student home language data from approximately two-thirds of the students in the above benchmark study. The tables below break down benchmarks by the percentage of students with Chinese as their home language.
