What reading level is The Story of the Alphabet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In making this letterrepeatedly and rap- idly they became careless and instead of cross- ing the letter V they tried to make it with one continuous scratching, hence when the Greeks became acquainted with it three to five cen- turies after its invention, the picture had de- teriorated almost beyond recognition. They in- troduced balance and the V was inverted, and the cross-bar was retained between the lines. Unknowingly they were drawing the ox head upside down; and it remains so with us to th...is day. The Greeks called the first letter alpha, the Romans called it A (ah) and we call it A (ay), a sound it never possessed in Latin.
B The second letter of the alphabet repre- sents a crude house, roughly outlined. After food, shelter is an important consideration and this fact was expressed by the early al- phabet maker. The Greeks again were igno- rant of the picture and careless or indifferent as to the exact name of the character, and thus two triangles instead of the square sup- porting a triangle were made and the name THE STORY OF THE ALPHABET changed from "beth" to "beta" (ba'ta).
