蓝思难度分级是什么?
蓝思(Lexile)分级是由美国教育科研机构为了提高美国学生的阅读能力而研究出的一套衡量学生阅读水平和标识文章难易程度的标准,是衡量阅读能力(Reader Ability)与文章难易度(Text Readability)的科学方法。简而言之,使用这一标准一方面可以方便学生测试自己的阅读水平;另一方面给出版物标识蓝思难度分级后,学生可以找出符合自己阅读难度的图书去阅读,以便循序渐进,步步提高。目前,蓝思分级已经发展为全美最具公信力的阅读难度分级系统。

从这个网页,输入你手中英文图书(美国出版的,其他国家有自己的蓝思分级网站,比如澳大利亚)图书的名字,很多都可以查到它的级别。比如说“Guess How Much I Love You(猜猜我有多爱你)”的蓝思分级是690L,那么如果我们能读懂这本书的话,700L上下的书就基本上可以阅读了。

比如说“Guess How Much I Love You(猜猜我有多爱你)”的蓝思分级是690L.
实际上,“Guess How Much I Love You“ 这本书的Lexile code is AD 690L
AD: Adult Directed
Picture books are frequently considered for an AD or "adult directed" code because they are usually read to a child, rather than a child reading them independently. This is the classic example of parent and child sitting together on the couch with the book open in their laps. Although seemingly easy reading, picture books can still present a challenging independent reading experience to an age-appropriate reader for reasons of text difficulty and book layout or design.The text difficulty of picture books varies widely across the genre. For instance, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are (HarperCollins Publishers) is a beloved read-aloud for preschoolers. Its Lexile measure of 740L, however, is around the average reading ability for someone ending fourth grade. Upon a closer look, the text comprises long sentences and contains some fairly high-level vocabulary such as "mischief," "private," "gnash," and "rumpus." The parent on the couch would help the preschooler sound these words out and decipher these long sentences. Therefore the book is coded adult directed and the measure is AD740L.
Additionally, picture books can have design elements that may visually complicate reading for a child. Factors such as font size, typeface, page layout, legibility, and the relationship between pictures and text may significantly impact reading comprehension. The story and illustrations in Where the Wild Things Are are perfect for young children. But the lines of the text are close together and the sentences are spread over multiple pages, often in long horizontal lines. These design elements may challenge a child's ability to read the book independently even if the text difficulty is well matched. Initially, a more advanced reader may need to read the book with a child.
