Improving Student Achievement with Alexandria and Lexiles!

A Lexile® measure indicates the reading level of both texts and students. Many schools are using Lexile measures to help improve students’ reading skills and monitor their growth toward state and national proficiency standards. These schools need a library automation system that provides Lexile measures so that students can be matched with instructional resources at the right level. Alexandria does just that—like no other library automation system!

For Librarians—Helping students read on the right level is a snap!

• Visually see if the book a student wants to check out is in their recommended Lexile range (100L below and 50L above the student’s Lexile measure) directly from the Alexandria circulation screen.

• Point students to books that interest them and, more importantly, are on their reading level.

• Play a big role in improving student reading and essential growth and achievement.

• Alexandria keeps a record of each student’s Lexile measure history. Thus, a student’s progress is readily trackable and, more importantly, reportable.

• Unlike other library systems, you don’t have to give us your critical library data to update it with the latest Lexile measures. You can update your data whenever it’s convenient using Alexandria’s unique Lexile Update Utility. It is available and built directly into Alexandria when you are ready to use it.
