What reading level is The Balliols book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was the last week of term. Discipline was relaxed. Roll call at morning P.T. was perfunctory. There was a reasonable chance of his being able to get away with it. Nine times out of ten he would. This happened to be the tenth. It was a warm and sunny morning. The house tutor had woken early; with a headache and a bad temper. He had taken the roll himself.
“Where is Balliol?” he had asked.
There was no answer.
“Is he ill?”
Nobody had heard he was.
“Very well. Carry on with the drill, Musgrave.”...
Glad of a potential opportunity of working off his ill-humour, the house tutor strode over to the dormitories. He found Francis, just back from the shower-bath, pensively considering a choice of a tie.
“Have you any excuse to give?”
“No, sir.”
The house tutor looked him slowly up and down.
“You wretched little worm. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, shirking, at a time like this. You ought to be proud of the opportunity of doing a keen thing, of getting yourself fit. It’ll be a bad look-out if the war goes on long enough for worms like you to be needed in it.”
