A common request is reading lists of the following where the readings are listed in order of difficulty. (See https://community.logos.com/forums/p/70600/1241894.aspx#1241894 as an example.) It would be useful for FL to include such reading lists as an indication of their commitment to support students after graduation. The set should include:
1. Old Testament in Hebrew/Aramaic
2. LXX Old Testament in Greek
3. New Testament in Greek
4. Vulgate in Latin
5. Peshitta in Syriac
As to the method of determining complexity (vocabulary or syntax) and the units of the reading lists (books, chapters, pericopes), the important thing is to document the criteria used or identify the individual from whom the list is licensed.

That's a good idea, lots of graded readers exist which could be drawn from to create such reading lists. Also a potential way to introduce students to various features of Logos, as the difficultly increases additional resources or features within Logos could be suggested to help the student translate/exegetic the passage.
