Many catalog records contain the Accelerated Reader Reading Level and Lexile Number. In WorkFlows, you can search for a specific reading level or Lexile as well as ranges. For records that do not contain reading level or Lexile, SEO subscribes to a quarterly update service to input these numbers into the catalog records.
