To provide an independent

measure for text complexity and

to offer assessment quizzes for

our books, 12-Story Library is

pleased to submit our titles for

evaluation in the Accelerated

Reader program. Look for

the Accelerated Reader logo

throughout our catalog. ATOS

levels will be available at a

later date. Accelerated Reader

quizzes can be purchased

directly from Renaissance

Learning.

We are pleased to also submit

all of our 12-Story Library

titles for leveling in the Lexile

program. Every title in this

catalog was submitted for review

in fall 2014. Lexile resources

can be purchased directly from

MetaMetrics.
