Lexile

The purpose of this on-going professional development opportunity is to support elementary school teams to build instructional activities with Lexiled books that are tied to content. These instructional activities help teachers to understand how Lexile ranges can be used to differentiate instruction within the classroom for students while using informational texts to enhance authentic literacy activities. Schools will also be given information about the Lexile Framework for Reading and how it will be used to create a summer reading program for students.

The audience for this professional development opportunity is elementary schools that are committed to using Lexile Ranges to support differentiation while using informational text to enhance authentic literacy activities. In addition, schools will commit to the development and implementation of an “at home” reading initiative for students during the summer of 2009.
