Our district found the SRI not to be reliable for lexile scores. We used it for 2 years and we said do not waste our money or time. We are now doing what you suggested and using books that we are confident of the lexile level.

Ask them to read a passage from several books of differing lexiles... Do an informal comprehension check and you are good to go. Less reliable but likely more valid to inform classroom instruction...
