* The Lexile range shown is the middle 50 percent of reader measures for each grade. This means that 25 percent of students had Lexile measures below the lower number and 25 percent had Lexile measures above the higher number.
** Beginning Reader (BR) is a code given to readers and texts that are below 0L on the Lexile scale. The lower the number following the BR code, the more advanced the reader or text is. The higher the number, the less complex the text is or less skilled the reader is.
