[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone tell me more about how the "READING LEVEL" has been assessed?

[/quote]

Lexile levels are listed on the MAP score reports, so I’m guessing that’s what they mean. They don’t really do any other testing in middle school that could qualify as “reading levels.”[/quote]

+1 Lexile on MAP R[/quote]

Can someone explain the lexile to me? If 11-12th grade Lexile goes only up to 1350
what is a Lexile of

1750-2000?

Is there a college level associated with that?[/quote]

I've had a hard time figuring that out.  Here's a chart that gives 50th and 90th percentile lexiles at various grades, but it only goes up to 12th grade and a 1610 Lexile: https://hub.lexile.com/lexile-grade-level-charts
Here's also a sheet with examples of texts at different levels that only goes up to the 1500+ range: [url=http://cdn.lexile.com/m/cms_page_media/135/Lexile%20Map_8.5x11_FINAL_Updated_May_2013%20(4).pdf]http://cdn.lexile.com/m/cms_page_media/135/Lexile%20Map_8.5x11_FINAL_Updated_May_2013%20(4).pdf[/url]

Honestly, I'm not sure how seriously to take the MAP-R Lexile, especially at the high end.  My 5th grader just got a lexile range on the fall MAP-R of 1670-1820, and I'm guessing it's so high partially due to the ceiling of the MAP-R at her level (I know the test changes in 6th grade).[/quote]
