Tools to Support Reading & Math
The Hub’s tools are based on the same Lexile (reading) and the Quantile (math) frameworks education leaders have relied on for over thirty years. The Lexile and Quantile scales are at the core of all we do. They accurately and independently describe the relationship between a learner’s ability and the difficulty of the content they encounter.
The Lexile scale balances a learner’s comprehension against a text’s difficulty. And the Quantile scale balances a learner’s readiness to learn against skills and concepts. With these scales, we can predict how well a learner will engage with content at any level.

Lexile Reading Tools
Lexile text measures provide valuable information about a text’s complexity and are recognized as the standard for individually matching readers with texts. Thanks to extensive research, Lexile measures are now more precise for content used in K-2 classrooms and provide readers with a superior match to texts.

How do I use Lexile and Quantile measures?
You are likely familiar with tests that report Lexile and Quantile learner measures alongside their own scores. And you’ve probably encountered publishers’ materials that have content difficulty measures.
These testing organizations and publishers use our measures because they are useful beyond the testing day and outside a publisher’s own leveling system. In fact, any linked test can report learner measures. And any publisher may use content measures to communicate their materials’ difficulty.
In addition to our measures, data in areas from vocabulary to math skills and concepts are offered for truly targeted instruction.
