What do the codes mean?

  • Lexiles usually are shown by a number followed by ‘L’, eg.

450L.

  • However there are some codes that you may notice:

– AD: Adult Directed – books that are usually read to a child – NC: Non-Conforming – often non-fiction books appropriate for a range of ages – HL: High-Low – books at a high interest level, and lower reading ability – IG: Illustrated Guide – encyclopaedia's, books with technical vocabulary etc. – GN: Graphic Novel – very highly illustrated fiction books, or comic books – NP: Non-Prose – Books with very few words
