Lexile Framework

The Lexile Framework is a tool that measures both reading ability and the text’s complexity on the same scale, called the Lexile scale. It helps match readers with books that are appropriately challenging, promoting effective learning and reading growth. A higher Lexile measure indicates more advanced reading skills or more complex texts. Educators and parents use Lexile scores to select suitable books, track progress, and support literacy development, ensuring readers are engaged without feeling overwhelmed or bored. Overall, it provides a standardized way to assess and support individual reading development.
