  1. The Lexile Framework For Reading

  2. What Are Lexile Levels? The Super Easy Explanation! http://www.lexile.com/about-lexile/lexile-video/

  3. Your Child’s Lexile Range • Based on YOUR CHILD’s Assessment • CRCT • SRI or Scholastic Reading Inventory For grades 2, 4, and 7 100L Below and 50L Above your child’s measure

  4. Advantages of Using Lexiles • Lexile measures are based on your child alone, not on other children. • Lexile measures should make it easier for your child to focus on what they read. • The Lexile Framework will improve communication between you and your child’s teacher. • The Lexile website can help your child find books that they want to read. (Show Lexile site and Book Find)

  5. What about Lexile Measure and Grade Equivalents • The Lexile score represents a student's level on a developmental scale. • Grade equivalents are from a norm referenced test, like the ITBS, and represents a student's ability level in comparison to other students who were also tested at that same grade level.

  6. What About Accelerated Reader? • AR measures books in a different way from Lexile. • Like Lexile it too, matches books with a student’s reading level. • STAR Reader determines the AR level of your child.

  7. How Can You Help? • Make sure your child reads every day. • The “More You Read, the More You Know” really is true. • Help your child keep a reading log. • Reading logs are useful tools that can track of • Time Spent Reading • Books Completed • Your Child’s Lexile Measure • The Lexile Measure of the Book.

  8. More Ways to Help • Use Destiny, your Media Center catalog. http://internet.savannah.chatham.k12.ga.us/schools/Ellis/mc/default.aspx • Use the Lexile site to find books that your child will like. www.lexile.com • www.barnesandnoble.com • WorldCat, the public library website

  9. Remember! • Your child should never be discouraged from reading a book based only on its Lexile measure. • The Lexile Range is a number, and like any other number it is not the only way to evaluate your child.
