Lexile Leaders will help students become stronger readers, expand their vocabulary, increase their confidence, and prepare for future success. Parents can help by encouraging students to read an Accelerated Reader book approximately every two weeks, complete the AR quiz, and track their progress toward their grade-level Lexile goal.
Students also have access to myON, a digital reading platform available through DCSS ClassLink. myON provides a variety of digital books and recommends titles based on each student’s reading level and interests, making it easier to read at school or at home.
