Each year, public school students in the state of Georgia take the Criterion Reference Competency Test. One valuable piece of information on that test is the Lexile score. This Lexile score is a valuable piece of information not only for teachers, but for parents as well.
The Lexile Score indicates the reading ability level of the student and gives you a range of material that your child can confidently read from. For example, if your child is in the 6th grade and has a Lexile score of 890, he or she can read books from 790 to 990. Try not to have your child read more than 100 lexile points from what their current score is so as to not overwhelm them.

If you are in the Atlanta area and would like more information on techniques that may help your child learn better, or have questions on Orton-Gillingham reading strategies or Handwriting Without Tears, please contact Christine at christine@learningridge.com.
