By using the Lexile®- or Quantile® Frameworks, teachers can place their students in the appropriate reading and math instructional materials. Read about Reading Intervention Software and Math Intervention Software.

OFFICIAL: Lexile Framework for Reading

What is The Lexile Framework® for Reading?

The Lexile Framework® for Reading provides a common, developmental scale for matching reader ability and text difficulty. Lexile® measures enable educators, parents, and students to select targeted materials that can improve reading skills and to monitor reading growth across the curriculum, in the library, and at home. Recognized as the most widely adopted reading measure, Lexile measures are part of reading and testing programs in the classroom and at the district and state levels.

The Lexile Framework was developed after 20 years of research by MetaMetrics®, Inc., a privately held educational measurement company based in Durham, N.C. The company’s research was initially funded with grants from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Today, MetaMetrics continues to pioneer scientifically based measures of student achievement that link assessment with instruction, foster better educational practices, and improve learning by connecting students with instructional materials that meet and challenge their abilities.

How does it work?

Why is it important?

The A+nyWhere Learning System® has the ability to automatically make prescriptions from an A+ LearningLink assessment.  Interventions can then be tailored to each student’s ability and needs.  This allows educators to accurately track progress throughout the year.

Key Points:

  • As the most widely adopted reading measure in use today, Lexiles give educators the confidence to choose materials that will improve student reading skills across the curriculum and at home.
  • Forecast student understanding, improve mathematics instruction and achievement (Quantiles), forecast performance on high-stakes, end-of-year tests, and identify appropriate resources to differentiate instruction.
