What is the average Lexile for a 7th grader?
In the 7th grade, studies using a national sample of students have shown that typically readers will score at a Lexile level between 735L and 1065L over the course of the year.
In the 6th grade, higher performers should be looking to achieve Lexile scores of around 1000L by the end of the year, with the average scores being over 665L. Yearly growth in the 6th grade falls under 100L typically, with expected growth at 1.7L per week.
Lexile measures are represented by a number followed by an “L” (such as “800L”) and range from below 0L for beginning readers to above 1600L. Research shows that 1300L or above is the target Lexile measure for students to be ready for college and career in reading.
What is the Lexile Scale? Lexiles typically range from 200 for beginning readers to 1700 for advanced readers.
The highest possible measure is 2000L. Anything below 5L is assessed as a BR or Beginning Reader. A book's Lexile measure is analyzed by MetaMetrics©.
