The Lexile PowerV™ Vocabulary Tool
When your child reads books within their Lexile range, there will always be some words your child doesn’t know. Anticipating what those words might be and helping your child understand them can increase your child’s enjoyment of the book as well as grow their vocabulary.
More than 125,000 books in the “Find a Book” database include a robust vocabulary tool called PowerV. The PowerV Vocabulary tool identifies up to 10 challenging words in each book that are important for readers to know. It can also provide customized vocabulary lists and forecast comprehension for your child.
Making a List with PowerV
Before your child even starts reading the book, you can create a personalized vocabulary list to look over together. First, access PowerV by selecting an individual book detail page using “Find a Book” or the Quick Book Search tool. As you can see from the example, PowerV provides you with a general suggested vocabulary list. To get a customized list for your child, enter their Lexile reader measure to generate a tailored vocabulary list.
