Independent Reading

Reminder: From now on any Independent Reading book needs to be within a student's Lexile range. I am doing this to help students find reading books that are at an appropriate level for them. Every book from the Middle-School Library has a Lexile numbered assigned to it. But, if a student reads a book that does not have a number for it please use the link below to help determine if it is in their range or not. Please check with me if you are unsure whether a book is acceptable or not. Thanks!
