Reading Inventory (Lexile)

A Lexile reading score reflects a student’s ability to read and comprehend text. A book has a Lexile text measure based on text difficulty. A Lexile level can be helpful in choosing books that a student can be successful reading. You can visit https://lexile.com to find specific books that might be a good match for your student to read. Other factors need to be considered besides the Lexile level when choosing a book including content, age and interests of the reader.  In other words, students shouldn’t be limited to books within their Lexile range. Just be aware that students reading above their range will need more support, and that students reading below their range will find the text less challenging (which means less progress if reading consistently below-level books).

s far as expectations and goals for students in each grade level, please refer to the chart below:

Text Complexity Grade Band Lexile Range
K-1 N/A
2-3 450-790
4-5 770-980
6-8 955-1155
9-10 1080-1305
11-12 1215-1355
