You may have books that are wonderful. But are they appropriate reading level? There is away to find out.
Go to Find Lexile Level. Check if you are a student, parent etcetera.
Click on advanced search
Next type in title or other information. AND click on Show Lexile Measure. Then search.
If the book has a level it will be on the next page.
There are several ways to know which book is right for your child. Here at QES we use the Lexile system. Levels are based on the vocabulary and complexity of the text. These levels are suitable for beginners to advanced readers. Students may know what color they are on and not their Lexile, especially in the younger grades. In our library, I have a chart.
Also, reach out to your teachers, they can give you Lexile levels and recommended reading.
