Lexile® Measure
A Lexile® Measure represents a student's reading ability:
- The Lexile® Measure is shown as a number with an "L"
after it: 750L is 750 Lexile®.
- Higher Lexile® Measures indicate higher levels of reading ability.
A Lexile® Measure can range from below 200L for emergent readers to
above 1600L for advanced readers.
- Readers who score below 0L receive a BR for Beginning Reader.
Depending on the report options selected, this score may appear on these reports:
Lexile® Measures below BR400L are shown on these reports for progress monitoring purposes only. A score below BR400L should not be used to match
readers with text; in these cases, a Lexile® Range will not be reported.
