Three ways to use Buckland Books

Benchmark reading level

Students answer MCQs and their ability updates continuously on the Buckland Scale—no placement tests.

Practice at the right level

The next text is automatically served at the right difficulty, aligned to Buckland Scale + CEFR bands.

Generate printable worksheets

Type a topic → choose a level → generate a leveled text with questions + answer key to download as PDF.

Try Lite (no sign-up)

Generate a Leveled Text + Worksheet (PDF)

Need a reading on a very specific topic? Type the topic, choose a CEFR level (mapped to the Buckland Scale), and generate a classroom-ready text in seconds.

  • Leveled text aligned to your selected CEFR band
  • Comprehension questions + answer key
  • Downloadable PDF for homework or quick lesson use

With a teacher account, you can track a learner’s Buckland Scale score + CEFR band over time—so you’ll know exactly what level to generate next for their interests. Sample PDF coming soon

Teacher advantage: track level → generate texts at that level

  • Know the level: Track the Buckland Scale score and mapped CEFR band for each learner.
  • Match interests: Generate texts about a learner’s topic, at the level they actually need.
  • Fast classroom workflow: Print-ready PDFs with questions + answer keys.

To our knowledge, it’s uncommon to find one platform that combines live level-finding with on-demand topic text generation at that exact tracked level.
