On the Preferences page, select Edit at the end of the Lexile® Measures row.

Who can do this with default capabilities?

The setting of this preference determines whether the Lexile® Measure and/or the Lexile® Range will be included on certain reports.

A Lexile® Measure represents a student's reading ability:

The Lexile® Measure is shown as a number with an "L" after it: 750L is 750 Lexile.
Higher Lexile® Measures indicate higher levels of reading ability. A Lexile® Measure can range from below 200L for emergent readers to above 1600L for advanced readers.
Readers who score below 0L receive a BR for Beginning Reader. BR codes are followed by a number and an L (for example, BR100L). A Lexile® Measure of BR100L indicates that the Lexile® Measure of the reader is 100 units below 0L. The smaller the number following the BR code, the more advanced the reader is. For example, a BR100L reader is more advanced than a BR150L reader.

A Lexile® Range is a scale calculated from the Lexile® Measure by subtracting 100L and adding 50L to a student's Lexile® Measure.

Select the shaded section of the "Setting for..." sentence to choose which schools you want to set the Lexile® Measures Preference for .
