Read Naturally Live/Encore II Alignment to Lexile Measures

5323 Views

All Read Naturally Live and Read Naturally Encore II passages correlate to the Lexile text measure guidelines.1 In addition, Read Naturally stories are grouped by level and the levels are sequenced so that the text complexity gradually increases as the student moves to higher levels. The stories in the lower levels are shorter and easier to understand, the ideas are explicitly stated, and the vocabulary is familiar. At each successive level, the stories become longer and more complex. The ideas require more inference, and the vocabulary is more sophisticated. Use the following tables to see the gradually increasing difficulty of the Read Naturally levels, as shown by the number of words in each level and the Lexile text measures.
