Lexile

The Lexile Find-a-Book website can help identify books that students are interested in and are able to read. Thi stool can be found at http://georgia.lexile.com or http://gadoe.org/lexile.aspx.

The Find-a-Book website uses a Lexile reading measure to determine appropriate reading books for the student. A Lexile measure reflects a student's reading ability plus a book's text difficulty. It is the most widely adopted reading measure used today. In Georgia, students in grades 1-8 and most 11th graders receive a Lexile measure in their end of year test results. More Lexile information can be found at https://www.georgiastandards.org/Resouces/Pages/Tools?LexileFrameworkforReading.aspx.
