* What is a Lexile measure?
A Lexile measure gives you information about your reading ability - and the difficulty of a text. It helps you pick a book that you will be able to read and enjoy. The Lexile measure is shown as a number with an "L" after it, so a 780 Lexile would be written as: 780L. (You will see Lexile measures next to the books in your OLS novel lists.)
* Find YOUR Lexile measure here: https://fab.lexile.com/
Once you know your Lexile measure, put your Lexile range in the box and submit. You will then be able to select the kinds of books you are interested in, and find lots of great suggestions!
