Lexile® at School

Lexile measures are powerful, versatile tools that educators can use to help their students grow as readers. When you use both Lexile reader measures and Lexile text measures, you can treat each student as an individual learner, rather than as below-grade, on-grade or above-grade.

Here are some classroom ideas and applications to help you differentiate instruction for all readers in various situations.
