Not every child reads at the same level. And that’s okay. What’s challenging for one student may come naturally to another. That’s why Kids Discover Online has created three different Lexile Reading Levels for every topic within its extensive library of science and social studies material.
Read Confidently with 3 Lexile Reading Levels
Every topic within the Kids Discover Online's award-winning library of science and social studies material offers 3 Lexile Reading Levels. Lexile Reading Scores take into account grammar, vocabulary, and sentence-length. The Lexile scale is a measurement of a student's level on a developmental scale of reading ability. Lexile measures are based on two major factors that determine how difficult a text is to comprehend: word frequency and sentence length.
Based on Common Core State Standards text measures, the following 3 levels are available for every topic within Kids Discover Online:
Lexile levels:
The Common Core Standards' Lexile Reading Levels were designed to both help educators and parents understand their student’s current reading level and determine where they should strive to reach. The initiative was originally built to ensure that students are on track to graduate college and be career-ready.
Lexile ranges help teachers and parents manage a child's reading comprehension and target instruction. Educators can expect to see a 75% comprehension rate by matching a student’s appropriate Lexile measure with a topic from Kids Discovers Library. With the three levels available, educators can assign to individual reading ranges on a per student basis, to ensure the passage is not too difficult, and not too easy. It is an important step in Kids Discover’s ability to deliver a more personalized learning experience for the reader.
The Common Core Standards advocate a "staircase" of increasing text complexity so that students can develop their reading skills and apply them to more difficult texts. As the Kids Discover library offers the same article in three different levels, students can upgrade to the next level as their comprehension becomes stronger and they are ready to read more complex texts.
Another bonus of the Kids Discover Library is that each reader will still be presented with the same beautiful imagery, original illustrations, animations and videos for the topic, regardless of the Lexile reading range they select. This keeps the main concepts and substance of the article intact, just at a simpler or more difficult reading level. This is a great tool to help educators achieve a differentiated learning approach in their classrooms.
The Lexile framework allows educators to match their students with texts from the Kids Discover library with topics that will maximize learning and growth. Independent of where the student is in their development of their reading skills, teachers are able to assign a suitable level text to the students from the extensive library.
With a simple click, the Kids Discover Online library will adapt to meet the needs of a wide range of reading abilities. Built for the differentiated classroom, tailoring the same high interest articles to students has never been so easy.
