k2bdeutmeyer Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I do, only because she was in public school through February of this year. She was a 4th grader with a Lexile of 1254!!! Sorry, I have no idea how to find out though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I do from two years ago. DS was also in public school. I hope you find a way to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embassy Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Maybe look at books at your child's reading level and see what the lexile scores are for those books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Maybe look at books at your child's reading level and see what the lexile scores are for those books? Well, it's never been a problem. I can pretty much look at a book and know if it's right for most of my dc. I do have a LD high schooler though, and the lines are fuzzy when trying to include necessary technical content for each course (especially sciences), while at the highest possible reading level he can understand. I thought it might make textbook selection a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I just checked our ITBS score sheet, and it gives a Lexile range. Not free, I know, but in case you have to/plan to test anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 You can go to Scholastic Book Wizard, type in a book at your dc's grade level of reading, and convert it to Lexile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did know about this, but I'm still holding out hope that a "second opinion" about what his level actually is will help me confirm a science textbook choice.
