A student's optimal Lexile range is from 100L below to 50L above his or her measure from a reading test. But you don't always have to stay in your Lexile range. Here are some instructional applications for using mistargeted text.

Higher Lexiles can help a reader reach higher:

• Advanced and enthusiastic readers can be challenged with high-interest books above their Lexile range.
• Lexiles can help a parent know when a child might need help through a hard but interesting book.
• Lexiles can also help you find additional books on the same subject at a lower level.

Lower Lexiles can help a reader build skill and confidence:

• Struggling and reluctant readers can find easier books to practice with on topics they're interested in.
• Combine Lexile range and developmental level to find easier books that are still age-appropriate.
• Lexiles can be the safety net to help a reader through a hard but interesting book.
• If a school book is too hard, Lexiles can help you find other books on the same subject at a lower level.

Move the sliders to adjust your search results by age-appropriateness and Lexile range.
