- What does the
Lexile measure mean?
There are two Lexile® measures: a Lexile reader measure and a Lexile text measure.
- The lower a book’s Lexile measure, the easier it will likely be to comprehend.
- The 75% comprehension rate is called “targeted” reading.
- For example, if a reader wants to read a book
independently at a 90% comprehension rate, he or she simply can choose a
book with a Lexile text measure approximately 250L below his or her Lexile
reader measure.
- Likewise,
material below the reader’s Lexile range may provide that student with little
comprehension challenge.
