1st Grade

The Lexile Framework® for Reading measures are scientific, quantitative text levels. When the Lexile of a text is measured, specific, measurable attributes of the text are considered, including, but not limited to, word frequency, sentence length, and text cohesion. These are difficult attributes for humans to evaluate, so a computer measures them.

Common Core State Standards uses Lexile level bands as one measure of text complexity. Text complexity ranges ensure that students are college and career ready by the end of 12th

grade. Lexile measures help educators scaffold and differentiate instruction, as well as monitor reading growth.

ABOUT LEXILE LEVELSCommon Core Kingdom, LLC is a certified Lexile® Partner. These texts are officially measured and approved by Lexile and MetaMetrics® to ensure appropriate rigor and differentiation for students.

Keep in mind when using any leveled text that many students will need scaffolding and support to reach text at the high end of their grade band. According to Appendix A of the Common Core Standards, “It is important to recognize that scaffolding often is entirely appropriate. The expectation that scaffolding will occur with particularly challenging texts is built into the Standards’ grade-by-grade text complexity expectations, for example. The general movement, however, should be toward decreasing scaffolding and increasing independence both within and across the text complexity bands defined in the Standards.”

Jungle Meeting

The lion was the king of the jungle. He called a meeting. All of the animals came.

The zebra and the giraffe were a little afraid.

“Do not be afraid,” said the lion. “No one can hunt at the meeting.”

320L Characters, Settings, Events Name: ________________________________________________ Date: __________________

The lion told the animals some bad news. Men were coming with machines. They were cutting down the trees.

“Why should I care?” asked the alligator. “I don’t need trees.”

“Why should I care?” asked the parrot. “I can fly to a new home.”

Some animals did care. They listened to the lion’s clever plan. They would stop the machines.

The monkey had a hard job. He had to be brave. He stole the keys from the machines. Other animals helped, too. The rat chewed the power lines. The elephant blocked the road with trees.The plan worked! The men went away.
