Lexile Measures from MetaMetrics in ProQuest Online Research Tools. What is a Lexile Measure?
The Lexile Framework® for Reading from MetaMetrics® takes the guesswork out of matching students with texts at an appropriate level of difficulty. A Lexile measure indicates the reading level of a student or a text, and is expressed as a number followed by an "L" (e.g., 800L). Teachers, librarians and parents can compare a student's Lexile measure with the Lexile measure of a text to determine whether that text may be too difficult, too easy or just right for that student's reading ability. To strengthen reading skills, students should read text within their Lexile range—100L below to 50L above their Lexile measure.
When students read text within their Lexile range, they are likely to comprehend enough of the text to make sense of it, while still being sufficiently challenged to maintain interest and learning.
