Thanks to all who responded. 1. My teachers and I have been using Follett Book Catalog and Perma-Bound (at times). Follett lists reading levels, as does Perma Bound - Follett's are usually a smidge higher than Perm's. I notice that Scholastic Reading Counts (old Electronic Bookshelf) is pushing LEXILE. 2. Titlewave is on the Follett web site. It is a catalog of books and it is intended to be used for ordering purposes but you can look up book titles to find RL and IL. They also provide this information on CDROM. It is free. The online version needs a user name and password but that is free also. 3. There is a company in N.C. called MetaMetrics. They have researched and developed a reading level indicator and system for books called the Lexile Framework. A few years ago, they were partnering with Baker & Taylor and other wholesalers to have this information incorporated in there title databases. Their web address is http://www.lexile.com/about_lex/map.html . 4. Carol Hurst lists her books by grade level. It's not a lot of books, but it's a start http://www.carolhurst.com 5. Check the archives. Last spring (April or May) someone wrote how to determine reading level by using Microsoft word. -- Roz Goodman, Media Specialist Southwest Region Schools PO Box 90 Dillingham, AK 99576 907-842-5287, FAX 842-5428 rgoodman@dillingham.swrsd.schoolzone.net =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
