Lexile ranges describe broad text complexity, not a complete book-fit decision. Use the chart as a quick reference, then apply judgment about reader readiness and the task.

How to use this tool

A Lexile chart is useful when you want the fastest possible reference for broad grade-band text complexity. Instead of entering one score at a time, this page shows the full grade-by-grade Lexile ranges in a printable view.

It is best used as a quick reference chart, not as a complete book-fit decision. Reader support, stamina, interest, and purpose still matter when choosing what a student should read next.
