Benchmarking Reading Materials. If you want to match your student to appropriately challenging reading materials, then we have a site for you! The Lexile Framework for Reading measures both reader ability and text difficulty on the same scale, called the Lexile scale. This approach allows families and teachers to encourage reader progress using Lexile measures and a broad range of Lexile products, tools and services. 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.
Benchmarking Reading Skills. One of our favorite resources is the colorful booklet "A Child Becomes a Reader," which has been developed especially for parents of children in kindergarten through third grade. Available online at the National Institute for Literacy website or by mail by calling 1-800-228-8813, the booklet tells parents which skills should be mastered at each grade, the qualities of effective classrooms at each grade, and offers easy-to-follow advice on how to strengthen reading skills at home.
