Lexile Framework For Reading:  Matching Readers with Texts

While level numbers can be helpful, they aren’t the only indicator you should use when choosing a book. In fact, many educators caution against using levels to limit students' reading choices. If a child is willing to tackle a more difficult book because the subject matter interests them, go ahead and let them! On the other hand, if they want to reread old favorites just for fun, that’s great too. The most important thing is to get students reading, whenever and however possible.
