[quote=Anonymous]I'm the previous poster re: DHMS, and was wondering how old Hemingway would survive if judged against Lexile levels. Anyhow... did a google and this article discusses the pros and cons of using Lexile levels to choose texts and mirrors what posters are discussing.  https://readingrev.com/blog/jgon5w7jjk5analqa9bcmjm9h4hxwv

[quote]2. Diverse Texts: Some texts, especially literature, may have lower Lexile measures but still present challenges due to abstract themes, nuanced language, or cultural references. Teachers should be aware of these complexities and not rely solely on Lexile levels.Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck has a Lexile level of only 630L. While this novel has a relatively low Lexile level, it deals with deep, mature themes like friendship, loneliness, and moral dilemmas. The vocabulary and sentence structures are straightforward, but the themes are complex, making it emotionally and thematically challenging for readers. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney has a Lexile level of 950L!

When the first few google results were Scholastic sponsored, I used my low Lexile level vocabularly to put Lexile in a box of tools for judging texts, but not the whole box, ya' know? [/quote]
