OK, all you Greyhound Readers who have recently discovered lexile levels, here are three places to look for lexile levels for the books that you want to read.
1st - check the library catalog! The library catalog can be accessed of the library information page (the one you used to get here!!!!) If there is a lexile level, it'll be in the middle of the book listing.
2nd - Try Novelist K-8 or Novelist Plus. These are part of the EBSCO-Host family of databases HISD provides for you to use. Go the Online Resources link and look for Ebsco-Host, then choose one of the Novelist options. This is also a great site to look for books that you might like to read.
3rd - Use Lexile.com: http://www.lexile.com/ . This site has lexile levels for a large number of books, but you won't find everything.
NOTE: You probably won't find every book your looking for, but if it is a book that interests you, read it! Reading for pure pleasure is still reading and will help build your vocabulary and grow your brain! All good stuff!!!!!
