(with the exception of AR ATOS reading levels.)

"Lexile measures are based on two factors: word frequency and sentence length, which are more formally called semantic difficulty and syntactic complexity."  Many databases and libraries are using this system.”  A Lexile score is reported on a student’s Individual Student Report for each MAP administration in Reading.
