Grade Level & Reading Range
The Lexile range is a widely used system in schools to measure reading difficulty and match students with appropriate texts.

📌 A Lexile level of 700L–900L typically aligns with upper elementary (4th–5th grade) and early middle school (6th–7th grade) readers.

📌 This range is ideal for students who are strengthening their reading comprehension skills, including those who may need additional practice or reinforcement.

📌 While some middle school students may read at higher levels, this course ensures that all learners are supported with guided reading strategies, vocabulary development, and comprehension techniques to build confidence and fluency.
