How can I use my Lexile measure to manage my reading comprehension?
Your Lexile measure helps you to quickly identify how difficult a text will likely be for you to understand. When a text measure is outside of your recommended Lexile range, you will likely find that text to be too challenging or too easy. When you select a text that is within your Lexile range, your comprehension rate is expected to be 75%. A 75% comprehension rate is optimal for reading success and growth. Table 1 shows how changing to more difficult texts can change your comprehension rate. Comprehension rates for the same reader with different books.
