READING COMPREHENSION CAN BE INCREASED BY • Teaching Reading ComprehensionStrategies • Matching Text to Students Reading Level • Assessing Critical Thinking Skills (Rigor) • Using Collaborative Activities • Using Technology • Writing Before and After Reading
Lexile Framework for Reading • Process for managing reading comprehension and reader progress • Measures text readability and student reading ability; can match text with student reading level • Determines difficulty of reading by word frequency and sentence length • Most widely used reading measure
Lexile Framework for Reading • Lexile measure reported in increments from 200L to 2000L • Can be used in any curriculum content • Tens of thousands of books, tens of millions of articles, hundreds of publishers, and all major standardized tests have Lexile measures
