How Does Kanjimori Handle Leveling?

To ensure we are introducing kanji in roughly the same chronological order they may be learned in Japan, we use the Japan Kanji Aptitude Test’s (kanji kentei, 漢字検定) kanji list as a reference for constructing kanji study levels. Each kanji level builds on the preceding levels, introducing new roots as well as compound kanji incorporating roots from the levels before. Occasionally, roots will be taught earlier than they might in kanji kentei order if they are needed to understand the composition of kanji within a level. For roots that are not commonly written alone in Japanese kanji, we will teach only the root’s meaning, not its readings.
