indicate which lexile range. Then, just check your own catalog or MeLCat for the book! Also, BookFlix has both fiction and non-fiction for the younger kids; just click on the “Resources” link at the top of the BookFlix homepage to see the assigned lexile
score per title.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Help! Has anyone else discovered an easy way to help parents with this conundrum of lexile level books that also have reading count quizzes?<br>
Today I had a mom come in who had a sixth grade son who was at a high reading level (lexile 1130-1300) and she was looking for books. I had a really hard time finding titles for her that were still housed in the children's section.<br>
I pulled a bunch of novels that I consider higher reading level and then looked them up on the lexile website and many weren't even listed. The ones I did find (they were all nf), the mom would have to turn around and see if these particular titles had quizzes
available.<br>
<br>
Has anyone figured out a more streamlined way of doing this or do you depend on the school librarian/teacher to pass out lists of titles and levels that have quizzes?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
