Are any of these test reasonable in price? The teachers would be
paying for them themselves.

Two tests which we use to give lexiles are Read About by Scholastic

DRA scores

range of

I'd never say never but I doubt it. Lexiles were developed by
Scholastic and I
can't imagine there are tests that give that info.
If you have another level such as a guided reading level there are
conversion
charts that will give you a general range. So if you have a guided
reading level
or one from DRA you can get an estimated level. Google reading
level conversion
chart and you should find it

Tennie, you are saying they decode at a high level but comprehend
little or
nothing? Can you assess their approximate comprehension level? I
would then
get books at that level or slightly higher and have them read
with you and
discuss the story language, themes, make predictions and use all
of the
Strategies That Work comprehension work (asking questions,
visualizing,
making connections, etc.) It sounds like they think reading is
word calling
and don't have the connection to meaning.

Try www.readworks.org
A free site if you sign up a user account. There's lesson plans
for concepts
of comprehension, reading passages with questions, and
recommended read
aloud
book titles and suggested teaching points.
Also, Linda Hoyt's Read Aloud book is great. (not sure what the
actual
title
is.)
