How will I use Lexiles in the classroom? • To promote reading progress • To differentiate instruction • To select reading material that meets and challenges each student’s ability across content areas • To provide a clear, nonjudgmental way of communicating a student’s reading ability to parents • To generate lists of books that parents know will be challenging reading for their children (e. g. , summer reading lists) 21 st Century Special Educators: Leading the Change! WVDE SETLA 2009
Linking Assessment to Instruction Lexiles… • Add value to state assessments –adding more information but not more time. • Offer a common scale for monitoring student progress. • Paint a “big picture” view of student progress, preschool through graduate school. • Give parents and students a way to monitor reading progress. 21 st Century Special Educators: Leading the Change! WVDE SETLA 2009
Lexile Comprehension Model Reader Ability - Text Readability = Comprehension “Targeted” Comprehension = 75% Independent Reading 600 L (reader) – 600 L (text) = 0 (75% forecasted comprehension) Educators can adjust forecasted comprehension by changing the text options given to a reader. 21 st Century Special Educators: Leading the Change! WVDE SETLA 2009
Why 75% Comprehension? Research suggests that at 75%… • A reader can have a successful reading experience without frustration or boredom • A reader can achieve “functional comprehension” of the text • A reader will be sufficiently challenged (by vocabulary and syntax) 75% is the “right amount of challenge” 21 st Century Special Educators: Leading the Change! WVDE SETLA 2009
Managing Comprehension • Readers can experience frustration when… – Text readability is 100 L+ above their Lexile level • Readers can experience ease when… – Text readability is 50 -100 L below their Lexile level • Readers can experience growth when… – Text readability is within their Lexile range General Reading Recommendation: Targeted text range of 100 L below to 50 L above the student’s Lexile level Note: This range may vary based on text type, reading context and purpose, reading strategies and support, and reader motivation. 21 st Century Special Educators: Leading the Change! WVDE SETLA 2009

Recommendations: • Use a Lexile range that is from 50 L above your student's Lexile measure to 100 L below to ensure that s/he has a successful reading experience. • Enter keywords to find books that match his/her interests. The key here is to get your student reading. • Select books with the Lexile range that you are looking for (either for a student or based on your classroom Lexile roster), but also select a development level (e. g. , "Middle School"). 21 st Century Special Educators: Leading the Change!
