	A Thermometer for Language Arts Instruction

	NCLB's accountability standards necessitate a consistent measurement system to help meet language arts proficiency and AYP standards. With a calibrated, unified system - like the Lexile Framework - reading proficiency data can be collected, correlated and applied meaningfully to any text - from Achieve3000 activities, to textbooks and library books, to periodicals and magazines. Suddenly, language arts proficiency can be measured and utilized as easily as temperatures taken from multiple thermometers. Source: Smith, Malbert III, Ph.D. (2004).
