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. Lexile measures in ProQuest teaching and learning solutions Our eLibrary and SIRS online research tools make it easy for librarians, educators, and researchers to track down full-text information linked to specific Lexile levels. The eLibrary Advanced Search feature allows users to stipulate a Lexile level for all returned results. Source: Lexile.com
