Conserve Our Wild’s wildlife books are great for kids’ preschool to 5th grade.
We ensure kids read books that match their current reading ability.
Guided reading is not just an exercise to practice reading skills. It is research-based, professionally energized, highly targeted, scaffolded reading instruction that propels all students toward confident, independent reading of high-quality grade level books across a diverse array of literature and informational genres. Reading well means reading with deep, high quality comprehension and gaining maximum insight or knowledge from each source.

The Lexile Framework for reading is a scientific approach to reading that place both readers and texts on the same measurement scale. About half of all US students Lexile measures from national, state, and local assessments.
Lexile measures:
- Connect your students with reading materials at the right challenge level.
- Analyze instructional materials and plan for instruction.
- Communicate and engage with students and parents regarding reading progress.
- Set goals and monitor reading growth over time.
A Lexile reader measure describes student’s reading ability. Connecting students with books in their Lexile range – 100L below to 50L above their reported Lexile measure – provides an ideal level of reading challenge.
Connect Students with "Just Right" Reading
Lexile measures provide valuable information about students’ abilities as well as text difficulty.
