九月三日、しが県の ひこねじょうが 世界いさんの こうほに 決まりました。
Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?
Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.
The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
