| The Lexile Framework for Reading matches a reader's ability to the difficulty of a text, allowing for individualized assessment and instruction. It is a scientific approach to reading and text measurement that measures reading ability on a scale from 200L (200 Lexiles®) for beginning readers to 1700L for advanced text. The Lexile Framework has become the most widely adopted reading measure used by educators, libraries and publishers today.
Language arts educators have long struggled with the task of assessing reading and writing proficiency objectively. Unlike mathematics or the "hard sciences," we have had no meaningful, unified system of measurement. The Lexile Framework finally provides an objective system for measurement, enabling more precise assessment and more effective language arts instruction.
