What is a "2nd grade level" or a "first grade level"?

How are those terms defined by the child's reading ability (as opposed to the grade level of the book)?

I know this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find it in the archives.

I couldn't find it either, though I remember reading it.

I use two methods:

1. DD4 likes to read from a 2nd grade textbook DS7's teacher let him take home.

2. I look up books on the Accelerated Reader book finder. It's not perfect, but it gives me a ballpark idea. Here's a link:
