My son is in the 1st grade and he scored a 340 lexile score on a Reading First test. What does that mean? Is he at, below, or above grade level?

I am a student studying to be an elementary school teacher and I am currently in a Reading practicum class in a 4th grade elementary school classroom. I have a case study student who I need to assess (the teacher already told me she reads on a 1st grade level) but I need to assess her myself. Do you have any suggestions of tests I can give her? I have a Phonemic Awareness test and I also thought about doing a Yopp-Singer test as well.
After I am done assessing her I need to formulate 8 lesson plans for her. I do not even know what to begin teaching her, even if her assessments come out poorly. Do I start with sight words?
I would love an experienced teacher’s help or a reading specialist to point me in a direction and show me some websites.
