Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Cambridge English: Young Learners, also known as Young Learners English Tests (YLE), is a suite of English language tests specially designed for children in primary and lower-secondary school. The tests are provided by Cambridge English Language Assessment (previously known as University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations).
The suite includes three qualifications,[1] each targeted at a different level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Cambridge English: Starters (YLE Starters) is targeted at pre-A1 Level, Cambridge English: Movers (YLE Movers) at CEFR Level A1, and Cambridge English: Flyers (YLE Flyers) at CEFR Level A2.
Cambridge English: Young Learners leads on to Cambridge English examinations designed for school-aged learners, including Cambridge English: Key (KET) for Schools at CEFR Level A2, Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET) for Schools at CEFR Level B1, Cambridge English: First (FCE) for Schools at CEFR Level B2 and Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) at CEFR Level C1. Cambridge English: Flyers is roughly equivalent to Cambridge English: Key for Schools in terms of difficulty, but the words and contexts covered in Cambridge English: Flyers are suitable for younger children.[2]
