Lexile measures are the most widely used reading metrics. Linking aimsweb assessment results with Lexile measures provides a mechanism for targeting each student's reading ability with text on a common scale.

These enhanced aimsweb benchmark reports for grades 1-12 provide the option to report a Lexile measure for each student's R-CBM or Maze score.

The Lexile report allows a teacher to:

  • effectively target instruction and monitor reading growth.
  • find instructional resources that match each student's unique reading ability.
  • directly link to the free "Find a Book" search tool to select fiction and nonfiction titles that match each student's reading ability and interests.
