What is a Lexile® reading measure?
A Lexile® reading measure is a globally recognised scale – ranging from BR1300L to 1825L – that tracks your reading ability and pairs you with the text difficulty range that best fits you.
Globally Trusted
Backed by 40+ years of education research, the Lexile® reading measure helps guide learners in 180 countries, including up to 50% of US students.
A Universal Standard
Much like IELTS or CEFR, the Lexile® reading measure provides a globally recognised, comparable benchmark for English reading proficiency.
Scoring Logic
Your assessment performance helps us match your reading ability to the right level of sentence complexity, vocabulary rarity and text decodability.
Your Optimal Reading Range
Your report reveals the reading difficulty range (100L below to 50L above your score) that you should look for. This helps you find content that is suitably challenging.
How Your Score Compares
Our reports show how your performance on the assessment matches US grade-level standards.
