That is how it is used in the US, and a term you often hear used by Home Schooler’s and Home School co-op groups.

I have relatives who did homeschooling and I never heard this term mentioned when they were discussing what the kids were reading. I guess they would have been about the age to start on such books around 15 years ago. Maybe it's more recent terminology?
