Is AI an official Kumon reading level?
No. Kumon uses separate lettered levels, including A and I, not a combined AI level.
Kumon Level AI Book List
Kumon reading levels do not include an official single level called AI; the sequence uses separate Level A and Level I stages. Most searches for "AI" are either early-reader Level A or advanced-reader Level I intent. Use the table below to choose the correct branch quickly.
| Signal | Recommended next step |
|---|---|
| If you mean beginner reading | Use Kumon Level A |
| If you mean advanced middle reader | Use Kumon Level I |
| Level A focus | Early decoding and short texts |
| Level I focus | Advanced chapter and classic titles |
Choose A or I in under two minutes
If the student is still building foundational decoding, start with Level A. If they already handle long chapter books and classics, start with Level I and calibrate downward only if comprehension drops.
