Filters

The resources that are listed are already filtered based on the selections you made prior to opening the Resources page, such as class and program, and if applicable, lesson, standard, or search criteria.

The Filters lists allow you to further narrow the list of resources to more easily locate the resource that you need. Filter options differ by program and level, and multiple filter options can be selected.

Note:

–      The Table of Contents list is offered as a filter if you opened this page from the All Resources option on the Discover page.

If available, the Table of Contents may show units, lessons, and/or modules (depending on the selected program) at the top level. The terms and structure differ by program and may offer multiple-level selection. For example, the table may be broken down by chapters, units, modules, sections, or lessons, and the table may be multi-level, as shown here.

–      If available, filters for Lexile® Level and Beginning Reader Lexile levels (below 0L) appear in the More Filters dialog box. These filters can be set as follows:

○      To filter results to show resources within a specific Lexile level range, select the Lexile scale option and use the slider on the scale to set a minimum and maximum Lexile level by which to filter results.

○      To filter results to show only resources with Beginning Reader Lexile levels (below 0L), select the BR Results option.

Only resources with a recorded Lexile level within the specified range are displayed.

For each filter that you select, the list of resources updates to display only those resources that match your filter selections. The Active filters area displays the selections that you make in the Filters lists.

To clear filters:

➔    In the Active filters area, click the X of filter (or filters) to clear or click the Reset all filters link to clear all the filters. The Resources page resets to display the additional resources.
