Which statement about Lexile measurement is accurate?

• A. It helps pair a reader with texts that match difficulty
• B. It measures children's intelligence
• C. It assesses writing quality
• D. It predicts future math achievement

Answer: (A)

Lexile measurement focuses on reading difficulty and reader ability. The accurate statement is that it helps pair a reader with texts that match difficulty. By assigning numbers to both a reader’s comprehension level and a text’s complexity, teachers can select books that are challenging but accessible, supporting steady growth without overwhelming the student. It doesn’t measure intelligence, nor does it evaluate writing quality, and it doesn’t predict future math achievement.
