Those lexile scores must be for vocabulary difficulty and not meaning/context.

The slaughterhouse 5, according to lexile, would be for a 4th or 5th grader.

That book would give them nightmares and maybe require therapy!

Leckie scores are not for content. They measure vocabulary and sentence complexity. Any and all content should be chosen and supervised by parents. Ideally, parents do the reading and guide their child’s understanding of it. This is what I plan to create lessons to facilitate for families.
