Select interest

Suggested books. Can adjust for age, # of pages, and book type

Don’t select books by lexile alone. It is very important for parents to keep in mind that Lexile does not evaluate genre, theme, content, or interest. Even though a student might be able to read books at a certain Lexile, the content or theme of the text may not be appropriate for that particular student because of his or her age or developmental level. Also, a student may be able to read more dif- ficult content if it is an area of interest for that child since he or she may already be familiar with some of the vocabulary necessary to comprehend the text.”
