We have to use them because at the middle school level we use the Scholastic Reading Inventory, which reports in lexiles. No one in my district has ever been able to fully explain this leveling system. What we do is use their standards to determine the below grade level kiddos. Then we take those kids and QRI them and never discuss lexiles again. Our state text, Texas, gives us a lexile level that correlates to the scores on the test. Supposedly, you can tell a child's lexile according to the score they receive on the test. Our district put together a correlation chart just to help us out, though of course it is imperfect. It puts lexiles next to F&P, grade level, DRA, etc. Go to this site http://classroom.leanderisd.org/webs/elemla/reading.htm and then download the book levels.
