What reading level is Checkmate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mom said. “A young girl. And you know the sad part about it?”
“She got killed?”
“No, but she’s fighting for her life,” Mom said. “The sad part about it is that it didn’t even make the front page. Don’t you think that’s sad?”
“Yeah.” I knew what she meant, that a girl got shot and it wasn’t a big thing. I looked over Mom’s shoulder and moved her hand so that I could see what had made the front page. It was a story about a girl rapper throwing her shoe at a cop. There was a picture of the girl and... she looked really mad. I had heard some of her raps and they weren’t anything special. “I guess people being shot isn’t a big deal.”
“She’s Puerto Rican,” Mom said.
“You think that makes a difference?”
“My grandfather used to say that, when he was a boy, if a black person got shot or killed you had to wait until Thursday to find the details,” Mom said. “That’s when the black newspaper came out. They didn’t print news about black people in the white papers.”
