They use it to make tests and quizzes that meet their student’s reading and comprehension ability. The state uses student’s Lexile levels to determine what form of standardized

Grace Lin’s novel has a Lexile level of 690 (“The Year of the Dog.”). This places the novel at the typical Lexile level for a 3rd to 4th grader (“Matching Lexile Measures to Grade Ranges.”).

previous classes and saw some students reading at as low as 100-200 Lexile level - which is approximately 1st to 2nd grade level - and others reading as 600-800 level - approximately 6th to 8th grade level (“Lexile-to-Grade-Correspondence”) who were all labelled “Intermediate” and were working together on similar material in the same class. The results showed that many students, especially students that originally tested at a 500 Lexile score or lower, showed little to no improvement and in many cases
