What reading level is The Long Ago book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So it wasvery pleasant to sit on the steps and see the little old town fold-upits affairs and settle down for the night.
And more particularly to watch for Jimmy, the Lamplighter.
Far up the street, in the almost-dark place, about where Schmidt'sshoestore ought to be, a point of light flashed suddenly, flickered, andthen burned steadily - and in a moment another, across the street . . . . Then a space of black, and two more points appeared. Down the streetthey came in pairs, closely following t...he retreating day.
And the Little Boy on the Steps knew that it was Jimmy, the Lamplighter, working his way swiftly and silently. If only the supper bell woulddelay awhile The Boy would see old Jimmy light the lamp on grandfather'scorner, as he had seen him countless times before.
Then, just as the red glow faded in the West and Night settled down, hecame swinging sturdily across the street, his ladder hung on his rightshoulder, his wax taper in his left hand. Quickly, unerringly he placedthe ladder against the iron post that sent its metallic ring into theclear night air as the ladder struck, and was three rounds up almostbefore it settled into position.
