- Literacy and Lexile® Measures
It’s much more than just reading words on a page. Literacy involves reading, understanding, and communicating effectively — all skills that are needed not only for tests, but for life. The Lexile® Framework is a way for schools to know the difficulty of the materials your child can read and understand. All 50 states, including Texas, use Lexile® measures to improve student achievement in reading comprehension.
What the LEXILE
® Framework DoesHelps You Make the Best Reading Choices
When you know the Lexile® text measure of a book and the Lexile® reader measure of a student, you can match books to the student’s reading ability — finding books that are not too easy, not too hard, but just right.
Shows the Range of Readers Across Grade Levels
Within any classroom, there will be a range of readers. Instead of classifying books by a single grade level, Lexile® measures provide a variety of choices for students with different reading abilities in that grade.
Tracks Students' Progress Over Time
A helpful feature of the Lexile® scale is that it can be used to show whether reading ability is growing over time. If not, then teachers and parents can offer a student the extra help they need to improve.
Helps To Create Summer Reading Lists
Lexile® measures can be used to promote summer reading by helping parents guide their children to books that will not bore them by being too easy or frustrate them by being too difficult.

Disclaimer:
The Lexile Titles Database® is a list of books with Lexile measures provided by MetaMetrics. Neither the Texas Education Agency (TEA) nor MetaMetrics chooses the books to be measured – the book publishers do. The publishers are reputable academic and trade publishers, and the developmental levels of books are displayed when the publishers provide them. In no way should one assume that the books are recommended or endorsed by TEA, nor should the books or database search results be taken as a suggested reading list. Parents and educators should preview books to make sure they are at the appropriate developmental level and are suitable for the child.
Growth Planner
You may wonder if your child will be prepared for the reading requirements of college and the workplace upon graduation. The Lexile® Growth Planner provides some insight on this topic.
With the Lexile® Growth Planner, you can chart your child’s reading growth across different annual state assessments, forecast future reading growth, compare that forecasted reading growth with the text demands of college and careers, and, if needed, identify a custom growth path to ensure your child is college and career ready when they graduate from high school.

Relationship between Lexile

Student participants were representative of Texas student population in reading ability and were similar to Texas student population in demographics such as gender, ethnicity, economic status, and English learner status.
Students were given a paper/pencil Lexile® Linking Test that contained multiple-choice reading comprehension questions. Students´ results on the Lexile® Linking Test were examined in relation to the students’ results on the STAAR reading test. Researchers were able to establish a link between the STAAR reading scale and the Lexile® scale. Although no high-stakes was associated with the Lexile® measure on STAAR report card, it can be used as a resource for parents and educators. With Lexile® measures, parents and educators now have information that can be used to promote and encourage growth in reading.

Lexile Levels: What to Know
If your child comes home from school with a report on Lexile level or measure, you may wonder what that number means. This measure, which is called the Lexile score, assesses your child’s reading level.
The Lexile measure is part of the Lexile Framework for Reading. It’s used with students from first through 12th grade.
There are a number of systems that match readers with texts at the right level of difficulty. But Lexile is widely used, and many students will find the books in their classroom organized by Lexile levels.
How Lexile matches readers with reading materials
The point of the Lexile system is to find the right level of reading material for students. The match is based on reading ability, not grade level in school.
To make the match, the program assigns levels both to readers and to texts.
Students get a Lexile score after doing a reading assessment. Books and other texts get a Lexile level of difficulty that’s generated by special software. To find a book at the right Lexile level, a student will look for a book with a Lexile level that falls within a certain range — from a little below to a little above the student’s level.
Lexile can give you a sense of your child’s reading ability. But it shouldn’t be used as a way to compare your child to other kids the same age. Also, your child’s score doesn’t take into account other factors that go into finding a good match. These include motivation, interests, and background knowledge.
Lexile assessments and results
Your child’s Lexile level can be generated from various assessments. Each one looks at a different aspect of reading. The Scholastic Reading Inventory tests measure reading comprehension, for instance. The Aimsweb fluency assessment looks at how many words a child is reading correctly per minute.
If your child’s Lexile falls within a range that concerns you, ask the school which test or tests it used to come up with this level. If one assessment shows that your child reads slowly, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem with understanding the text.
The Lexile system isn’t a test to identify learning and thinking differences. It’s simply a guide to help kids find books at the right reading level. But Lexile level can be one way to monitor the reading progress your child makes over time.
When kids have trouble with reading, it’s important to know why. A full evaluation can pinpoint exactly where your child struggling. This might lead to targeted specialized instruction in reading through an .

Online English Vocabulary Test
This online test is designed to allow any user to evaluate their vocabulary for free and without registration. When testing, you will not only determine how many English words you know, but also the approximate level of English proficiency.

How testing works
No test can accurately measure your vocabulary, our test is no exception, it only shows approximate data. But we tried to make its results as close as possible to real numbers and as informative as possible. nine0003
We have an English dictionary containing about 18,000 words, arranged in order of their frequency of use in the English language.
For the test, we reduced this list of words to the 10,000 most popular words.
The most accurate way to test your vocabulary is to look at all the words and calculate how much you know. Unfortunately, this approach has a very significant disadvantage, since it will take quite a lot of time.
We decided for ourselves that the more often a word occurs in English speech, the easier it will be to remember and the easier it will be to remember. nine0003
| Easy | Medium | Hard |
| 1 the 2 of 3 and | 5001 fortress 5002 recipe 5003 bubble | 9998 diver 9999 sickly 10000 princely |
| 1st group | 50th group | 100th group |
After that we divided 10000 words into 100 groups of 100 words each.
Next, we take one word from each group in random order and display them in the test. Accordingly, a total of one hundred words are used during testing.
In the next step, you will need to mark the words that you know for sure! Not those in which you doubt, but only those in which you are sure. nine0088Be careful, we will automatically check your answers, and sometimes a confirmation window will pop up, where you will have to give a translation for the marked word. The more honest you are, the more accurate the test results will be, and you can actually learn your passive vocabulary.
Test results
In order to give the results of this vocabulary test, we take the maximum score that could be scored in the test and, based on the results of the answers, we calculate your approximate vocabulary and other information on testing with other participants who have passed this test earlier . nine0003
