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.

FIRST CONCEPTS

Minding Our Manners

Reading Level: K Interest Level: K–1

Learning to play nicely with others, being respectful of those around us, and being truthful are important first concepts to understand. Sometimes the emotions surrounding social manners are difficult to deal with. Through understandable, clear language, beginning readers are introduced to jealousy, bullying, sharing, and other common social situations. Examples guide readers through the feelings they may have. 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. — BOOKLIST

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.

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.
