I'm not sure what some of you might think...but lexiles and levels are 2 very different things. WE became very frustrated in trying to do a correlations between the two. We gave up. I think that some classroom libraries are leveled and kids are in leveled books in guided reading and it just might limit kids in the library. If anyone has figured out the lexile and F&P leveling let us know. Ro

Thank you, Jennifer >>> "underdown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/23/06 9:11 AM >>> I have a question about lexiles and libraries. We are considering leveling the books in our library. Has anyone out there done that? If so, is each book leveled or are the books in leveled sections? What do you guys think about this idea? Part of me thinks kids will feel limited by their lexile level, but I feel that if our teachers do a good job of explaining what a lexile level is to kids, they will be more informed when they choose books...what do you think? Just looking for some feedback on a new idea in my district. barb _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
