 * ** Comparison of RIT to Lexile Scales **



W HAT IS “LEXILE?"   The Lexile Framework for Reading is a scientific approach to reading measurement that matches readers to text. The Lexile Framework measures both reader abily 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. Lexile Codes: Illustrated Glossary (IG): A text designated as "IG" consists of independent pieces of text such as in the glossary of a book. These independent pieces may be interchanged without affecting the flow of the text. "IG" texts typically contain some or all of the following characteristics: Non-conforming Text (NC): A text designated as "NC" consists of semantic difficulty (//vocabulary//) and syntactic complexity (//sentence length//) that is inconsistent with the developmental appropriateness of the text. Typically these texts are written at a higher level than would be suggested by the content and the format of the text. Texts designated as "NC" are useful when matching advanced readers with text at an appropriate developmental level. Beginning Reading (BR): A text designated as "BR" is any text that has a Lexile measure of zero or below. The measure is shown only as "BR" without the zero or negative number appearing. Non-prose Text (NP): A text designated as "NP" is any book whose content is at least 50 percent nonstandard prose. Some examples are poems, plays, songs, and books with incorrect or no punctuation. Adult-directed Text (AD): A text designated as "AD" is one designed to be read to or with readers. The following guidelines should be used when examining an "AD" text:
