LEXILE INFORMATION FOR EDUCATORS, PARENTS, AND LIBRARIANS
Message from State Superintendent
June Atkinson
Your role as a parent, educator or librarian is critical to our children's learning success. Studies show that children who read outside of school—and who grow up in active reading environments—demonstrate improved literacy skills. But just as the same shoe size does not fit all children of the same age, not all children read at the same ability level. As a part of the new "READ NC" campaign, we want to help you understand The Lexile Framework® for Reading and how North Carolina assessments are using it to further reading instruction. Please explore and share all the resources below for more information about how you can use Lexile® measures to encourage and support reading success in the classroom and at home.
