Reading Assessment and Literacy Resources
We recommend families use our school subscription Reading Eggs to assess students' Lexile Level.
STEP ONE
Log into Reading Eggs with your student account (created by your teacher) and complete the placement test found on this page.
Why Reading Eggs for Improving Student Literacy?
Learning to read is one of the most important skills children can learn. Reading Eggs makes the learning-to-read journey fun, interactive, and highly rewarding for ages 2–13 – and it’s based on solid scientific research. Using the five essential keys to reading success, the program unlocks all aspects of learning to read for your child, focusing on a core curriculum of phonics and phonemic awareness, sight words, vocabulary, comprehension, and reading for meaning. To learn more about the Reading Eggs program, see here.

- On SORA, here is the process for filtering according to Lexile Level.
