Julius Caesar (Shakespeare for Young People adaptation) NOVELS This program allows students to read any three novels of their choice from a selection of award-winning works by renowned authors, from a variety of genres: fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, realistic fiction, and mystery. These novels are listed in order of increasing difficulty as measured by the Lexile scale, a system that measures reading difficulty by sentence length and vocabulary (see www.lexile.com). Lexile ratings roughly correspond to grade levels as indicated below. Approximate Grade Level Lexile Range

6 850-1050

7 950-1075

When selecting a novel, keep in mind that the Lexile rating does not measure subject matter or themes in the work. Title and Author Lexile Level From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E.
