The Lexile® Framework for Oral Reading
MetaMetrics® developed the Lexile® Framework for Oral Reading as a tool to offer broader insight into a student’s literacy skills. Our measurement frameworks that evaluate the entire literacy domain to help ensure that students are on a path to academic success and monitor progress toward college and career readiness. Similar to the Lexile® Framework for Reading, the Lexile Framework for Oral Reading is a scientific approach to measuring both students’ oral reading ability and the oral readability of text on the same Lexile scale.
Oral reading assessments powered by the Lexile Framework for Oral Reading offer more precise measurements of students’ abilities than typical, teacher administered oral reading assessments because Lexile measures precisely evaluate the oral readability of texts that students read aloud. Students read easier texts faster and harder texts more slowly. When the text’s oral readability is measured along with a student’s accuracy and speed in reading aloud, a student’s oral reading performance is measured more accurately.
