In Reading Counts!, Lexile text measures range from 100 for beginning reader books such as A Kiss for Little Bear, through 1530 for The Good Earth, and higher. In determining a text's Lexile measure, the entire book is evaluated, not just select passages or pages as most readability measures use. A Lexile text measure is the measure of reading difficulty given to text, based on syntactic complexity (sentence difficulty and length) and word frequency (how often the word is used in the English language). Lexile measures exist for both text and readers. What are Lexile ® Levels and how do I incorporate them into my search criteria? Use Search Titles if you would like to see a variety of individual Titles based on specific criteria such as Interest Level, Lexile Level, Topic, Theme, etc. When should I use the Search Titles feature? Quick Find By Keyword: Type in a keyword (i.e., friendship) to generate a list of individual Titles that pertain to that keyword. Quick Find By Author: Type in any author's name (first, last, or a combination of both) to generate a list of Titles by that author. Quick Find By Title: Type in a title to generate a list of individual Titles and Collections. Use Quick Find (by Title, Author, or Keyword) if you have a good idea of the Titles you are looking for. The true test of comprehension lies in their ability to apply these skills to each book they read.When should I use the Quick Find feature?
Ultimately, students should be applying the reading strategies they have learned in the classroom to their independent reading. Click here to view a sample question from a Reading Counts quiz. Students do not move up in Lexile level by taking Reading Counts quizzes instead, a student’s Lexile range is adjusted as the classroom teacher assesses each student’s reading growth and students take the SRI test. If they find there is a quiz for the book, they can take the quiz at school. If your child reads a book at home that is not available in our library, they may search the available quizzes. Our school has access to every Reading Counts quiz. Teachers may allow a student to retake the quiz if they score low and choose to reread the book. The types of questions on a Reading Counts quiz include recall and knowledge, author study, summarizing, cause and effect, sequencing, vocabulary, identifying information within the text, main idea and detail. Students demonstrate their understanding of a book by completing a short comprehension quiz on the computer. Reading Counts is an independent reading accountability program that measures and tracks a student’s reading progress. We encourage readers to recognize that classic, “too good to miss” books are found at all Lexile levels. Books written for older readers are often at higher Lexile levels. When selecting a book, it’s important to think about its intended audience. You can search our online Library catalog for books at a specific Lexile by performing a “Target Audience” search followed by a Lexile number. This site will also allow you to create and print lists of books in a specific Lexile range. If you have books from home or the public library, you can click here to search for the Lexile level of a book. Thousands of books have been “Lexiled” and it is easy for a teacher, student, or parent to look up the Lexile level of a book. In addition to checking out Lexiled books, students are encouraged to check out “choice” books that do not have a Lexile level. Teachers encourage students to read at their Lexile range across many genres of fiction and non-fiction books.
Once they know their Lexile range, students select books from our Library or classroom books.
After each passage, the student is asked to complete a fill-in-the-blank sentence.
