Please pardon the cross-posting.

Kids InfoBits is the Gale database aimed at students in grades K-5. Recently, new content and Lexile levels were added to it. Now when reviewing search results, users will be able to identify Lexile levels for magazine and newspaper results. An example is shown below. If you can't see the screenshots, view the attachment.

In addition, users can utilize Advanced Search to look for periodicals content with a particular Lexile reading level range or score.

                [cid:A3A1C7243A78E1924D514DB1457DE0616164693E at corproot.local]

Remember that not all content has been assigned Lexile ratings.

The In Context and InfoTrac databases already have these Lexile features.

Thanks,
Jen
