Star Reading - Lexile® measures Preference

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.
