A NOTE ON LEXILES: The Lexile measure of a book refers to its text difficulty only. A Lexile measure does not take the subject matter or content of the book into consideration. Lexile measures are based on two well-established predictors of how difficult a text is to comprehend: word frequency and sentence length. Many factors other than these affect the relationship between a reader and a book, including its content, the age and interests of the reader, and the design of the actual book. The Lexile measure is a good starting point in the book-selection process, with these other factors then being considered. Parents and educators should preview books to make sure they are at the appropriate developmental level for the child and also meet their own community standards. WCPS students in grades 6 through 10 take the Scholastic Reading Inventory, which produces a Lexile Score. Higher Lexile measures represent a higher level of reading ability. A student’s Lexile range for independent reading is from 100L below to 50L above his or her reported Lexile measure.
