Which is the first Staff Reading after levelling?
The backsight is the first staff reading taken after the level is set up and leveled at the point. It is a staff reading taken on a point whose elevation has to be determined through levelling process. It is also known as minus sight. The foresight is also taken towards a change point.
Which is the reference point for measuring elevation?
Elevation refers to the height above or below a fixed geographic reference point. In most cases, we the Earth’s sea level as our reference point, but in some cases the ground level is used as the reference point. One method for measuring elevation is to use differential leveling.

How are reading levels determined for a child?
Another popular system used to measure a child’s reading ability and to level children’s books is the Lexile Framework. Lexile measures provide a child’s numbered reading level/ability, and when using the Lexile Framework which levels books on text complexity, we can “forecast reading comprehension”. This is what we would call a Just Right Book!
