The Lexile Framework for Reading

www.lexile.com

This website can create a special reading list based on their lexile score and interests. As a teacher I can also put in the interests of history and fiction, indicate the lexile score of 9th grade - 850 to 1165 - and out pops a printable list of books for the student to choose from! It even has a function that allows students to seaarch their local library for those titles on their list.

The Lexile Framework for Reading: "Currently, every student in the state of California receives a California Reading List (CRL) Number with his or her STAR test results. The CRL Number is based on The Lexile Framework for Reading, and is a Lexile zone score. For example, a CRL of 7 indicates a Lexile zone of 700L to 799L"

The Lexile scale measures from 80L for beginning readers to 1700L for advanced readers.
