READING LIST: Lexile Level 1000's [NON-FICTION]

The books listed below are non-fiction in the Lexile Level 1000-1090 (1000's). They are in alphabetical order by the author's last name. In brackets, beside each title, is the exact Lexile Level for each title.

Some of the books may be in a non-fiction series. If so, only a few titles might be listed in the Lexile list. If you are curious about the Lexile Level of specific titles, you can search for them on the Lexile website. I have also curated a list of Fiction books in the 1000's.
