Lexile Score

You can use this site to look up the Lexile score of a book, search for a student's range based on their Lexile Measure, and find suggested titles based on their interests.

Find a Book

If a book does not have a Lexile score, but you know your student's approximate grade level-equivalent reading ability, you can search for the Accelerated Reader (AR) score instead:

ATOS Book Levels (BLs) represent the difficulty of text. For example, a book level (BL) of 4.5 means the text could likely be read independently by a student whose reading skills are at the level of a typical fourth grader during the 5th month of school. This does not mean the content is appropriate for a reader of that age. The IL starts for Interest Level and can be a better determiner of age appropriateness. You can also verify that with the resources below.
