What is a Lexile level? A parents' guide

1 min. readlast update: 09.29.2025

The Lexile® Framework for Reading is a scientific approach to measuring reading ability and the text demand of reading materials. 

We provide an estimate of the Lexile level for each of the books and magazine titles in Pageticker. 

Knowing the Lexile measures of a reader and a text helps to predict how the text matches the reader’s ability—whether it may be too easy, too difficult or just right. They're particularly useful when a child moves beyond reading scheme books and starts choosing books on their own or with the help of an adult.
