Lexile Reading Resources

When students take a MAP assessment in reading, you receive two different measures: a RIT score, and a Lexile score. Together, these scores give you a range of tools to help your students grow as readers, with materials pitched at just the right level.

The Lexile Framework for Reading ranks texts and correlates them to reading abilities, and helps measure a student's reading level and growth. The framework enables educators and parents to choose reading materials that appropriately challenge students, and map curriculum resources that students can comprehend-fostering further growth.

A Database of Great Reading
Using the Lexile Framework and a database that lists tens of thousands of book titles, educators can create customized reading lists based on each student's interest and reading ability.

With Lexile educators and parents can:

• Identify a student's individual reading level.
• Match a learner's reading level with fiction, non-fiction, and instructional materials spanning thousands of books and millions of articles. 
• Track a student's reading comprehension over time and set goals accordingly.
• Forecast whether a reader will be able to easily comprehend the material.
• Set and track goals for independent reading.
• Plan for disparities between student reading comprehension levels and the readability of assigned materials.
• Easily create customized reading lists for individual students.
