A reader asked for recommended books with certain Lexile scores. I, personally, have zero experience with Lexile, so I asked for recommendations from teacher friends. Boy did they deliver! Here’s a list of books with Lexiles all the way from 700 up to 1140, recommended by teachers. I’ve ⭐️’d the ones that were mentioned many times. Enjoy!
