Students Work Independently
Each passage is leveled using The Lexile Framework.
1. Go to Find Your Level to begin. Then return here to learn more.
2. Begin. Click on the first passage in your level. A picture, passage, and a quiz will all appear on the same page.
3. Print the passage. This will let you underline, highlight, circle, or highlight important information.
4. Answer the questions. Always encourage your child to GO BACK to the passage to find the answer or evidence to support his or her answer.
5. Email the Results.
6. Review the Results. This is the MOST IMPORTANT part. Each question will now be shown with the correct answer, the student’s answer and an explanation. The explanation is key. This is where the learning takes place. Even if the student answered the question correctly, it is this part that teaches the WHY.
“Out-of-school reading habits of students has shown that even 15 minutes a day of independent reading can expose students to more than a million words of text in a year.” -Anderson, Wilson & Fielding.
