The Lexile Framework for Reading
A Lexile reading
measure
represents a
student’s
reading ability.
A Lexile text
measure
represents its
reading
complexity.
770L
Lexile measures match text and readers on the same scale.

The Quantile Framework for Mathematics
Quantile measures match math readiness and complexity on the same scale.
A Quantile
material
measure
is its math complexity.
A Quantile
student
measure
is her readiness
for math
instruction..

• 132,000 schools across the U.S. closed this past spring due to COVID-19,
impacting the learning of more than 50 million students.
• Interruptions to schools have raised fears that learning gaps in core academic
areas have expanded.
• This fall, more so than ever, teachers will need to understand where their
students are in relation to the content and learning goals for this upcoming
school year. Such information helps educators:
• Gauge student readiness for the academic demands of curricular materials,
• Design targeted interventions to remedy individual student needs, and
• Plan instruction for grade-level learning standards.
The Impact of COVID-19
8
• To support educators and students, MetaMetrics and the Indiana Department of
Education partnered to provide one set of data points to help address this reality
for this school year.
• By leveraging existing student data from prior assessments, researchers have
produced projected Lexile and Quantile measures for individual students.
• In the absence of assessment data from Spring 2020, these projected measures
may offer educators a starting point to consider for instructional design and
planning.
COVID-19 Response
In late August, Cambium will deploy the projected measures for each
corporation in the Corporation Test Coordinators (CTCs) secure TIDE inbox.
Only CTCs officially designated in DOE Online may access MetaMetrics
data files via the Secure Inbox. Each CTC should:
• Visit the ILEARN assessment portal:
https://ilearn.portal.cambiumast.com/users/test-administrators-and-
educators.stml
• Select the Inbox portal tab and enter login credentials.
Where Can I Find These Projected Measures?
9
Select the file name reflecting the 4-digit corporation number (e.g.,
“Scores_1234”) and download to a secure network location.
Where Can I Find These Projected Measures?
10
NOTE: The single file contains projected measures for all
students enrolled in a corporation during October 2019. Enrollment data
submitted to IDOE varies daily, so corporations may notice some
fluctuation based on local records.
Where Can I Find These Projected Measures?
11
• Projected Lexile reading and Quantile mathematics measures are not observed
student test scores. Projections are estimates of students’ reading and
mathematics ability based on their previous ILEARN test scores.
• Scores were projected to a closing date for schools of March 19, 2020 and do
not account for growth that may have occurred after that date.
• Projected Lexile reading and Quantile mathematics measures may not be
appropriate for students who were retained or “skipped” a grade in 2019-2020.
• These projected measures should be used in combination with additional and
more timely information to make the best instructional decisions for students.
Caveats
12
• Derived from the longitudinal growth modeling research conducted by
MetaMetrics (see Gary L. Williamson “Novel Interpretations of Academic Growth” 2016).
How Were the Projected Measures Calculated?
13
• Not a “one size fits all” approach…
• Instead of a single growth curve, numerous growth curves—covering the full
range of student abilities—are used to model growth and calculate the
projected measures.
• By knowing (1) a student’s grade level, (2) her prior assessment performance, (3)
the assessment date, we match the student to the growth curve closest to her
performance and can forecast projected measures for any future date.
• In this instance, we used ILEARN data from May 2019 to predict measures for
March 19, 2020.

Now What?
What Can I Do with
These Projected
Measures?
17
• Gauge student readiness for the independent reading of grade-level text.
• Gauge student readiness for grade-level mathematics lessons.
• Access a variety of Lexile and Quantile tools, available through the Lexile &
Quantile Hub, to identify resources and plan for future instruction.
What Can I Do with These Projected Measures?
18
The Utility of Projected Lexile Measures
19
MetaMetrics has researched
the typical reading demand
students encounter in texts
across Grades 1-12.1
Projected Lexile measures
help teachers determine if a
student can read grade-level
text independently or if that
child may need additional
scaffolding to be successful.
The Reading Demand of Grade-Level Texts

• Based on the projected measure, each student is placed into one of three
categories to help guide instructional planning:
Determining Readiness for Grade-level Text
22
What the Category means… What the Category helps us to understand…
Category 3Student’s projected measure is above the
median of the grade-level range
Student can likely read grade-level texts independently;
little to no scaffolding needed
Category 2Student’s projected measure is between the
25th percentile and the median of the grade-
level range
Some instructional scaffolding may be needed for
student to be successful
Category 1Student’s projected measure is below the 25th
percentile of the grade-level range
Considerable instructional scaffolding may be needed
for student to be successful
The Utility of Projected Quantile Measures
23
MetaMetrics has researched
the typical mathematics demand
of the lessons students
encounter from grades K-11.1
Projected Quantile measures
help teachers determine if a
student is ready for grade-level
math lessons, or if that student
may need additional scaffolding
to build conceptual
understanding and skill fluency
before engaging the lesson.
