What does a Lexile measure tell me about my reading ability?
Your Lexile measure is more than a reading test score: • A Lexile measure indicates where you are in your reading development, according to the Lexile scale. The Lexile scale ranges from below 200L, representing beginning readers, to above 1700L, representing advanced readers. • A Lexile measure helps you to identify whether you are prepared for advanced academic reading demands. The Lexile scale never changes, so you can locate your ability level on the scale and set goals for where you need to be in order to meet the text demands of your future endeavors. • A Lexile measure helps you to practice your reading effectively. When you select reading materials that are within your Lexile range, you should experience a comprehension rate near 75%. At this rate, you will experience sufficient challenge and progress in your reading skills.
