According to the Common Core State Standards, both qualitative and quantitative scales of text complexity should locate the college- and career-ready reading level as the endpoint of the scale. Lexile ranges have therefore been realigned to match the Common Core Standards’ text complexity grade bands, and reflect the standards’ trajectory of reading comprehension development through the grades. The Common Core State Standards Initiative offers the following overlapping Lexile bands (or Lexile ranges, as defined by Common Core) to place texts within grade bands.

They learn how to handle saying “I’m sorry” and are reminded of the importance of “please” and “thank you.” Put into practice, this series offers invaluable character-building content.

“

Who wants to learn basic physical concepts from a boring human? The Dinosaur School series employs dozens of wildly colored, wide-eyed, gleefully grinning, computer-illustrated dinos to illustrate the most elementary of first lessons.

This is all about clarity: the bright characters cavort across plain white pages, while a brief sentence in large font makes a single declaration. Both pages in each spread play off each other to highlight the two opposing concepts. . . . Occasionally ending with visual glossaries, this is fine sit-and-learn stuff for the tiniest tykes.

My Five Senses

Reading Level: K Interest Level: K–2

Every day we use the five senses to learn more about the world around us. Whether we taste ice cream, touch a furry dog, or smell delicious food in the oven, our senses guide us in everything we do. Beginning readers will have the chance to learn about our five senses—touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight—and learn how they use their senses and why they are important.

Colorful photographs show our five senses at work, and accessible text aids in reading comprehension.

When visiting the national monuments or attending a Fourth of July parade, it’s hard not to feel patriotic. Many US symbols that represent freedom and unity are on display at these places and events. But who decided the bald eagle would represent the United States? Readers learn the answer to this question and much more about the history of the Liberty Bell, the writing of the national anthem, and much more. Colorful images enhance readers’ understanding of United States history and the symbols that remind us of it.

Write Right!

Reading Level: 2–3 Interest Level: 2–5

As children move into higher grades, they’re asked to do more writing in a variety of styles. Book reports and research papers teach information gathering while opinion papers and essays ask them to make a point and argue it well. Readers will learn the importance of word choice, organization of sentences and paragraphs, and the need for proper grammar in both classroom assignments and creative writing done on their own. Clear explanations and an entertaining style reinforce language arts standards of the Common Core, and fact boxes offer tips that can be used in many subjects’ writing assignments.

Extreme Biology

Reading Level: 4 Interest Level: 4–6

People would never want to live deep in the ocean, high atop mountains, or in the hottest, driest deserts on Earth. However, some animals thrive in these habitats. Called extremophiles, animals that live at the North and South Poles and other commonly dangerous environments have evolved to survive there. In fact, some bacteria don’t even need oxygen to live! Readers learn about these animals and many other extreme situations in nature. From food chains to meat-eating plants, the main text covers important science concepts in a fun way.

When someone has a serious illness, people say they’re “fighting” for their health—or even their lives. This series recognizes that the war against disease doesn’t just take place in science labs and doctors’ offices but on the tiny battlefields within people’s bodies. Each disease and illness is explained in an accessible way, with special attention given to the latest research, treatments, and scientific breakthroughs. The impact of each condition on the world is also highlighted as well as the outlook for eradication.
