Lexile Framework for Reading

Did you know you will find a Lexile range included on the MAP Individual Student Progress Report?  This is a great piece of information about your child's reading level.  It will assist as you find books or magazines!  If your child receives an 880L on the MAP, she is an 880 Lexile reader.  Higher Lexile measures represent a higher level of reading.  A Lexile reader measure can range from below 200L for beginning readers to above 1600L for advanced readers.  Your child may receive a BR for Beginning Reader.  Lexile is a good starting point in the book selection process.
