The setting of this preference determines whether the Lexile® Measure and/or the Lexile® Range will be included on certain reports.
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. BR codes are followed by a number and an L (for example, BR100L). A Lexile® Measure of BR100L indicates that the Lexile® Measure of the reader is 100 units below 0L. The smaller the number following the BR code, the more advanced the reader is. For example, a BR100L reader is more advanced than a BR150L reader.
A Lexile® Range is a scale calculated from the Lexile® Measure by subtracting 100L and adding 50L to a student's Lexile® Measure.
