How does the Lexile Framework differ from other leveled reading programmes?
Lexile measures are uniquely independent, accurate and actionable. First, the measures are instrument independent. Numerous American test and text publishers have adopted Lexile measures. Second, Lexile measures use the same method and scale to measure readers and text. This same measurement approach and a common scale mean greater accuracy in matching readers with text. Third, Lexile measures apply to everyday reading. A child’s Lexile measure is more than a test score. It applies to books and articles that the child encounters daily-at school, home and in the library-creating a strong school-home connection.
