Pat, Our school administers the NWEA tests, at the beginning of the year and at the end. In addition to all the data we get from those tests, the lexile score is included. I have my classroom library leveled that way.
Don't know if this helps but just another piece of the puzzle ; -) Cathleen Third Grade P.S. Thanks for all you do . . I've read your posts for a few years. You are a big help! ________________________________ From: Patricia Kimathi <[email protected]> To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 19, 2011 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
