What is a lexile?
In my CA class, we chart every student's lexile level, which is basically a reading level. Every text also has a lexile level. When students are choosing texts to read, they can match the books with their personal reading levels. The students are assessed four times in 7th grade to determine their lexile levels. This is a great way for students to keep track of their growth through the year.
