LMC Mission Statement
Believing that the Library Media Center (LMC) is a fundamental part of the educational programs of the schools in Indian Prairie School District #204, the mission of the LMC is to encourage, promote, and assist students and teachers to be effective users of ideas and information and to foster the habit of reading and use of a library for lifelong learning.
Lexile Scores
For students who have taken ISATs (Illinois Standardized Achievement Tests) and received ISAT scores, there is a section in the reading report that gives each student’s Lexile score. This is a score that can help students find books on their reading level, based on their performance on the ISAT. Below are two links that will help parents find books that match up to the Lexile score. The first is a link directly to the Lexile site and parents can search for books based on score, student interest, and much more. Or, parents can search the Brookdale's site specifically with Lexile score in mind to find books they can check out from the Brookdale LMC.
A list of books within the Lexile limits will appear. You may sort the books several different ways by clicking on the “Sort by” drop down button on the next screen
Finally, I want to remind you that reading to and with your child, no matter how old they are, provides a very meaningful experience for both parents and children.
