Determining the Reading Level of a Book

Teachers and students need to know how to find out if a book is at an appropriate reading level before starting the book.

To find the reading level of a book, click the information icon (i), or click the book cover.

The book information window will open. The Lexile measure (MetaMetrics) and the Recommended Grade Level (Publisher) for the book are listed.
