[ISLMA-Share] High Lexiles

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

In my experience, it is very rare that  fictional titles have lexiles this
high. Higher lexiles usually tend to correspond with informational text. It
is one of the limitations in using lexiles to match readers and texts,
especially with post-elementary students, at least in my opinion.
