There is a web site to access a database of books according to Lexile level, genre, and maybe some other categories.
Great advice. Just as IQ is not the sole determinant for curriculum placement and pacing, a lexile number or grade-level reading equivalent is not the sole determinant for developing a reading list. In each case, the child's interests play a strong role in making optimal decisions.

Free online book selection databases include:
- Lexile Find-A-Book,
- Scholastic book wizard,
- Every Good Book (does not include Lexile Level... choose from broad reading level bands: Elementary, Middle School, Secondary/Adult).
