What are the SRI tests and the Lexile Framework?
Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) is a reading assessment test for Grades 1–12 that assesses students’ reading levels and helps teachers adjust instruction according to students’ needs, track students’ reading growth over time, and match readers to text. The SRI tests use the Lexile Framework, a reading measure that matches students to text. The Lexile Framework places both reader and text on the same absolute scale, thereby providing a more accurate match between the two. This unique feature allows educators to more accurately match students to appropriately leveled text.
