What is a Lexile measure?

The Lexile® Framework for Reading measures reading ability and text complexity on the same scale.

There are two Lexile measures: the Lexile reader measure and the Lexile text measure. A Lexile reader measure represents a student's reading ability on the Lexile scale. A Lexile text measure represents a text's difficulty level on the Lexile scale. Lexile measures are expressed as numeric measures followed by an "L" (for example, 850L), and represent a position on the Lexile scale. When used together, Lexile measures help a student choose a book or other reading material that is at an ideal difficulty to spur reading growth.

Today, Lexile measures are recognized as one of the most widely used reading metrics. Lexile measures connect learners of all ages with resources at the right level of challenge and monitor progress toward state and national learning standards. Lexile measures range from below 200L for beginning readers and text to above 1600L for advanced readers and text.

An important factor for readiness is students' ability to read and understand texts of steadily increasing complexity as they progress through school. The Lexile Framework provides valuable insights into student readiness by measuring both the complexity of college and career texts and a student's ability to comprehend these texts.

The California Department of Education (CDE) has partnered with MetaMetrics® to provide additional measures of students' abilities in reading and mathematics. Lexile measures indicate students' reading abilities and Quantile measures indicate students' readiness for instruction in mathematics. Access the Introducing Lexile and Quantile Measures web document for additional information about these measures.

The Lexile Framework for Reading and Quantile Framework for Mathematics have been linked to the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Smarter Balanced English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics assessments. Students who complete these assessments will receive a separate Lexile and Quantile Measures Report. Access the Sample Lexile and Quantile Measures Report for an overview of sample measures and suggested resources.

Lexile Measures

A Lexile measure indicates the difficulty of materials a student can read and understand. It is based on a student's Smarter Balanced ELA score. With the help of Lexile measures, parents and educators can find reading materials at the appropriate difficulty level for students and monitor their growth in reading over time.

Parents and guardians can refer to the MetaMetrics Lexile Parent Guide and About Lexile Measures for Reading web page for additional information about Lexile measures.

Quantile Measures

A Quantile measure shows what mathematical skills a student has mastered and which skills they need additional instruction in. It is based on a student's Smarter Balanced mathematics score. With the help of Quantile measures, parents and educators can identify the mathematical skills needed to support students' learning and monitor their growth in mathematics over time.

Parents and guardians can refer to the MetaMetrics Quantile Parent Guide and What is a Quantile Measure? web page for additional information about Quantile measures.

Communications Toolkit

The following deliverables have been developed to support the introduction of Lexile and Quantile measures and the Hub to parents/guardians.

Measures Reporting

Lexile and Quantile measures are reported on a separate Lexile and Quantile Measures Report. Distribution of the Lexile and Quantile Measures Reports is optional. If a school or local educational agency chooses to distribute these reports through their student information system (SIS) or parent portal, they should confirm with their SIS vendor that they have met the most recent Application Programming Interface Specifications for reporting.

Coordinators can access the Lexile and Quantile Measures Reports in the Test Operations Management System (TOMS) using the following methods:

Similar to other CAASPP Student Score Reports, the Lexile and Quantile Measures Reports are available as PDF files. Coordinators can access these files by navigating to the [Reports] tab and selecting "CAASPP Student Score Reports PDFs." Then select "Lexile/Quantile" from the Assessments drop-down menu.

Additionally, the Lexile and Quantile measures are included in the "CAASPP Student Score Data File."

A word map is a strategy to help learners learn new vocabulary word. There are many different variations of how to use this strategy. One way is to use the four-corner vocabulary chart, and with this method students write the definition, use it in a sentence, they draw picture of the word, and write the word in the corner. Other methods to use this strategy is to add antonyms, synonyms, dictionary definitions, part of speech and more. This strategy can be adjusted to meet the needs of all learners. Throughout this strategy students are making personal connections, because they are drawing their own picture, writing their own sentence and the definition in their own words. By doing this, it gives more meaning to learning the vocabulary word, and this would help struggling readers tremendously. Graphic organizers are helpful for all learners because it really helps them organize their thoughts. According to Echevarria, Vogt & Short (2014), "These charts provide more context and "clues" than typical word walls, because they include an illustration, definition, and sentence for each vocabulary word" (p.81). According to Robert Marzano (2009), an educational researcher, he mentions that in order for students to effectively learn vocabulary they need to follow a six-step process. The steps are as followed:

(Marzano, 2009).
The first three steps are in a word map. The following three steps can be done after the word map has been completed.

The image above is an example of a very common word map. In this word map, students write the vocabulary word in the center, they define the word, provide synonyms, use it in a sentence, and draw a picture of it.

In this example above students go into more detail with the word. They find the synonym, antonym, dictionary definition, sentence from the text and other forms of the word.

The image to the left is similar to the other two word maps above. Students write the word, use it in a sentence, write the definition, find a synonym for the word, illustrate it and determine it's part of speech.

Math- For a math lesson, a word map can be easily adapted just like in the photo to the left. In one corner the student can write the word, in another corner the student can write the definition. In the other two corners students can write an example and then some facts to go along with the math vocabulary word. By providing examples it brings meaning to the word, just like a picture does when learning reading vocabulary words.

History- For a history lesson, one way to adapt this strategy is to change the headings slightly. On this graphic organizer it could include: the vocabulary word, time period, definition, and picture. By adding the time period it gives an understanding of when the word was used, and it give more meaning to the word. For example if a student is learning about what a Red Coat is, they could write Revolutionary War (1775-1783) in the time period section.

Science- For a science lesson, the template would not change very much. However, a teacher could ask the student what area of science the word falls under. This might help students categorize what vocabulary words belong where. For example, if the vocabulary word is cumulus, the area of science might be meteorology.

Physical Education- For a physical education lesson, a student could still write the word, draw picture, define the word, and maybe list games they can play relating to the topic. For example, if students are learning about basketball students can list lightning, 3 vs. 3, and others for possible games they could play.
