What does the Lexile Mean?

Lexile Measure:
A number indicating the reading demand of the text in terms o the semantic difficulty (vocabulary) and syntactic complexity (sentence length). The Lexile scale ranges from 200 to 1700 Lexiles, although actual Lexile measures can range from below zero to above 2000 Lexiles.

Lexile Codes:
The following designations are used in conjunction with the Lexile measure of a text to indicate special characteristics of the text. This information can be used to target texts in special situations.

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 (NP):
A text designated as "NP" is any book whose content is at least 50% nonstandard prose. Some examples are poems, plays, songs, and books with incorrect or no punctuation.

Adult-Directed (AD):
A text designated as "AD" is one designed to be read to or with readers. Texts designated as "AD" are useful when reading to a group and can be used to improve listening comprehension skills (eg., making predictions, engaging in discussion, identifying meaning, and acquiring vocabulary).
