Lexile 

This service can be used to help students find books that match their interests and reading level.  It is very easy to use, and books are available at the Durham County Library.

  • Go to www.lexile.com/findabook
  • Fill in your child’s Lexile measure from his or her EOG report, and have your child select subjects of interest. 
  • See a list of interesting books at your child’s reading level, and look them up in the Durham County Library catalog. 

Destiny Online Catalog
