Email TopicLexile® measures are available in Accelerated Reader. In some places, the software shows both ATOS book levels and Lexile® measures. On reports, you can select the scale to see. However, in areas where only one book level type is shown, the class Lexile® Goals preference determines which is used.
Where can I see Lexile® measures in Accelerated Reader?
Many reports and dashboards include Lexile® measures if you have chosen to show them using the scale setting for the report. Students using Accelerated Reader can also see Lexile® measures alongside of ATOS book levels when they search for quizzes and view quiz information. Administrators and teachers see both levels on the Manage Books & Quizzes pages.
The class Lexile® Goals preference determines whether ATOS book levels or Lexile® measures are used for
- Accelerated Reader goals and student progress
- student book level restrictions for quizzes, and
- Accelerated Reader reports.
Note: The Lexile Goals preference does not affect Star Reading reports. See the school Lexile® Range preference for Star report settings.
