Scholastic Reading Inventory and Lexile Scores
Here at Maltby, students take the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) 3 or 4 times per year. The SRI is an individual reading comprehension measure, which reports a student's score in Lexiles. Since there are such a wide range of reading levels, Lexiles can more specifically determine the reading ability of students rather than simply indicating that a child is reading below, at or above grade level. Lexiles are both a system for measuring reader ability and text difficulty.
Teachers use Lexile measures to customize their instruction to their students to their individual reading ability. Here at Maltby, we also use Lexiles to help students choose the "just right" book for Accelerated Reader and their independent reading.
Parents can use Lexile measures to help their children with their school reading and to guide their children in picking appropriate leisure reading. A child's Lexile range is alike a reading safety zone. When parents know their child's Lexile measure, they know to to challenge independent readers and help struggling readers.
