How it worKs
The Lexile® Map provides exam-ples of popular books and sample texts that are matched to various points on the Lexile® scale, from 200L for emergent reader books to 1600L for more advanced texts. The examples on the map help to define text complexity and help read-ers identify books of various levels of text complexity. Both literature and informational texts are prented on the Lexile Map.How to u it
Lexile reader and text measures can be ud together to fore-cast how well a reader will likely comprehend a text at a specific Lexile level. A Lexile reader measure is usually obtained by having the reader take a reading comprehension test. Numerous tests report Lexile reader mea-sures including many state end-of-year asssments, national norm-referenced asssments, and reading program asss-ments. A Lexile reader measure places students on the same Lexile scale as the texts. This scale ranges from below 200L to above 1600L. The Lexile web site a reader measure by using infor-mation about the reader’s grade level and lf-reported reading ability.
Individuals reading within their Lexile ranges (100L below to 50L above their Lexile reader measures) are likely to compre-hend approximately 75 percent of the text when reading inde-pendently. This “targeted read-ing” rate is the point at which a reader will comprehend enough to understand the text but will
also face some reading chal-lenge. The result is growth in reading ability and a rewarding reading experience.
For more guidance concerning targeting readers with books, visit /fab/ga to access the “Find a Book, Georgia” tool. “Find a Book, Georgia” enables urs to arch from over 150,000 books to build custom reading lists bad on Lexile range and personal interests and to check the avail-ability of books at the local library.Imagine getting students excited about reading while also improving their reading abilities. With the Lexile® Map, students have a chance to match books with their reading levels, and celebrate as they are able to read increasingly complex texts!

The Words were to me so many Pearls of Eloquence, and
his Voice sweeter to my Ears than Sugar to the Taste. The Reflection on the Misfortune which the Vers brought on me, has often made me applaud Plato’s Design of ban-ishing all Poets from a good and well governed Common-wealth, especially tho who write wantonly or lasciviously. For, instead of composing lamentable Vers, like tho of the Marquiss of Mantua, that make Women and Children cry by the Fireside, they try their utmost Skill on such soft Strokes as enter the Soul, and wound it, like that Thunder which hurts and consumes all within, yet leaves the Garment sound. Another Time he entertained me with the following Song.

Setting sail once again they kept a sharp look-out for Bus Island, discovered thirty years previously by Martin Frobisher, but the rolling a mists had grown too thick. Storms and gale—force winds plagued them for days on end and at one point grew so ferocious that the foremast cracked, splintered and was hurled into the a. It was with considerable relief that the crew sighted through the mist the coast of Newfoundland—a vague geographical term in Hudson’s day—at the beginning of July. They dropped anchor in Penobscot Bay, some one hundred miles west of Nova Scotia.

But from this point on, the citizen-soldiers of Washington’s army were no longer to be fighting only for the defen of their country, or for their rightful liberties as freeborn Englishmen, as they had at Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill and through the long siege at Boston. It was now a proudly proclaimed, all-out war for an independent America, a new America, and thus a new day of freedom and equality. At his home in Newport, Nathanael Greene’s mentor, the Reverend Ezra Stiles, wrote in his diary almost in disbelief: Thus the Congress has tied a Gordian knot, which the Parl [iament] will find they can neither cut, nor untie. The thirteen united colonies now ri into an Independent Republic among the kingdoms, states, and empires And have I lived to e such an impor-tant and astonishing revolution?

Lydia was a stout, well-grown girl of fifteen, with a fine complexion and good-humoured countenance; a favou-rite with her mother, who affection had brought her into public at an early age. She had high animal spirits, and a sort of natural lf-conquence, which the atten-tions of the officers, to whom her uncle’s good dinners and her own easy manners recommended her, had incread into assurance. She was very equal therefore to address Mr. Bingley on the subject of the ball, and abruptly reminded him of his promi; adding, that it would be the most shameful thing in the world if he did not keep it. His answer to this sudden attack was delightful to their mother’s ear.

Rube ran his ball club like it was a major league team.
Most Negro teams back then weren’t very well orga-nized. Didn’t always have enough equipment or even matching uniforms. Most times they went from game to game scattered among different cars, or sometimes they’d even have to “hobo”—which means hitch a ride on the back of someone’s truck to get to the next town for a game. But not Rube’s team. They were always well equipped, with clean, new uniforms, bats, and balls. They rode to the games in fancy Pullman cars Rube

There wasn’t much left in the tree fort from previous dwellers. Just an old hammer and a few rusted tin cans holding some even rustier nails. A couple of wood crates with the salt girl holding her umbrella painted on top. And a shabby plaque dangling sideways on one nail, FORT
TREECONDEROGA. Probably named after the famous fort from Revolutionary War days. Anything el that might have been left behind had probably been weathered to bits and fallen through the cracks. No matter. I’d have this place whipped into shape lickety-split. First off, I picked out the straightest nail I could find and fixed that sign up right. Fort Treeconderoga was open for business.

Edward, for lack of anything better to do, began to think. He thought about the stars. He remembered what they looked like from his bedroom window. What made
them shine so brightly, he wondered, and were they still shining somewhere even though he could not e them? Never in my life, he thought, have I been farther away from the stars than I am now. He considered, too, the fate of the beautiful princess who had become a warthog. Why had she become a warthog? Becau the ugly witch turned her into one-that was why. And then the rabbit thought about Pellegrina. He felt, in some way that he could not explain to himlf, that she was responsible for what had happened to him. It was almost as if it was she, and not the boys, who had thrown Edward overboard.

On that hot summer day in August he had proved to himlf—and everyone el—that he had taken charge of his own life. In 1876 Teedie—now known as Teddy—entered Harvard College. He was on his own ...without Papa. That was all right. “I am to do everything for mylf,” he wrote in his diary. Why not? He was stronger and in better health than he had ever been. And ready and eager for the adventures and opportuni-ties that lay ahead.
