How can the Lexile Framework help me communicate with parents?
The Lexile Framework provides a clear, nonjudgmental way of communicating a childs reading ability to parents. It helps parents to generate lists of appropriately challenging reading materials for their child. Lexile measures can also be used to promote summer reading and to select books that will provide more easily understood background information for homework assignments. When standards and scores are reported as Lexile measures, families can be provided with examples of a childs goals or achievements by converting the Lexile measure into a range of familiar texts for outside reading.
