Example 2: DRA
DRA levels are assigned and to select texts for independent reading by teacher.
Reading material is pre-leveled by leveling experts to match the expected reading performance of students K-8.
The Developmental Reading Assessment takes into account a book's content when determining its reading level.

3.The Lexile Framework® for Reading

Program developed in 1984 in with a grant from National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)

3.The Lexile Framework® for Reading
MetraMetrics website.com
Lexile scale (the READER): • Developmental scale for reading • Range from below 200L (beginning-reader
material) to above 1700L (advanced text).
![Page 13: Athena Chien Librarian 2014/08/22. Outline 1. Learn about Leveled Reading 2. Most common leveled reading methods in America 3. Lexile Frame for Reading.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e905503460f94b94431/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

How it works
![Page 14: Athena Chien Librarian 2014/08/22. Outline 1. Learn about Leveled Reading 2. Most common leveled reading methods in America 3. Lexile Frame for Reading.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e905503460f94b94431/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3.The Lexile Framework® for Reading
MetraMetrics website.com
How it works
Lexile measure (the TEXT):• Reading ability or text difficulty score
followed by an “L” (e.g. “850L”)• Measures how difficult a text is to
comprehend:• semantic difficulty (word frequency)• syntactic complexity (sentence length)
![Page 15: Athena Chien Librarian 2014/08/22. Outline 1. Learn about Leveled Reading 2. Most common leveled reading methods in America 3. Lexile Frame for Reading.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e905503460f94b94431/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What Lexile does NOT measure:
• Content - – complexity of plot– complexity of character(s)
• Quality - – “good” books– books to “hook” reluctant readers
• Developmental suitability – Age-appropriateness– Prior knowledge required for comprehension
![Page 16: Athena Chien Librarian 2014/08/22. Outline 1. Learn about Leveled Reading 2. Most common leveled reading methods in America 3. Lexile Frame for Reading.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e905503460f94b94431/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How do we measure?:
• Without Professional Guiding:–Choose a book by grade or age to test–Use “find book”
![Page 17: Athena Chien Librarian 2014/08/22. Outline 1. Learn about Leveled Reading 2. Most common leveled reading methods in America 3. Lexile Frame for Reading.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e905503460f94b94431/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How to get measure score?:
• International Assessment:

Which books are lexiled?
• “Over 450 publishers Lexile their titles”• “Tens of thousands of books”• “Tens of millions of newspaper & magazine
articles.”

Some Lexile observations:
• Nonfiction tends to score higher than fiction.• Most middle school fiction books fall in the
600L to 1000L range.• Fantasy fiction tends to score high• Mystery fiction tends to score low
![Page 27: Athena Chien Librarian 2014/08/22. Outline 1. Learn about Leveled Reading 2. Most common leveled reading methods in America 3. Lexile Frame for Reading.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e905503460f94b94431/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
More Lexile observations:
• Most authors tend to be consistent in their lexile scoring
• No apparent correlation between book length and lexile score.
• Not necessarily a correlation between target audience and lexile score.
![Page 28: Athena Chien Librarian 2014/08/22. Outline 1. Learn about Leveled Reading 2. Most common leveled reading methods in America 3. Lexile Frame for Reading.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e905503460f94b94431/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Conclusions
• Don’t rely on lexile stickers (numbered or color-coded) placed on the books
• Teach students how to use OPAC or programs such as NoveList to search for books in lexile range.
• Respect confidentiality

Why the Lexile Framework is Different?
MetraMetrics website.com
Lexiles are instrument independent-any standardized test could report reading scores in Lexile
The Lexile Framework is unique in matching reader ability to text difficulty on the same scale using the same method
A student’s Lexile measure is more than a test score-creating a strong school-home connection
