Lexile^® Book Search

The best way for students to improve their English reading ability is to read. TOEFL Junior scores and Lexile^® measures make it easier to find the right books at the right reading level.

Each TOEFL Junior score report includes a Lexile measure, which puts the ability of the reader and the difficulty of the text on the same scale. This takes the guesswork out of choosing books at a student's reading level.
