From the Lexile webpage:

The Lexile Framework for Reading is a scientific approach to reading measurement that matches readers to text. The Lexile Framework measures both reader ability and text difficulty on the same scale, called the Lexile scale. This approach allows educators to manage reading comprehension and encourage reader progress using Lexile measures and a broad range of Lexile products, tools and services.

As the most widely adopted reading measure in use today, Lexiles give educators the confidence to choose materials that will improve student reading skills across the curriculum and at home. Tens of thousands of books and tens of millions of articles have Lexile measures, hundreds of publishers Lexile their materials and all major standardized tests can report student reading scores in Lexiles.

All of our classroom books have been color coded according to the Lexile code. Each child will be tested 3 times a year during the District MAP test to determine their Lexile range amoung other areas in reading and math. During class, each child will only be aloud to read books within their Lexile range to improve their reading skills. During the scheduled library time, each child will be aloud to check out books of their choice, with in reason, that they can enjoy reading at home.
