Laura Bush is the programme manager of Global Services at MetaMetrics, the creators of The Lexile Framework for Reading, which objectively measures reading ability and text complexity on the same developmental scale.
Reading is incredibly important in supporting students’ overall growth. It’s a predictor of success in further education and life, with achievement in Mathematics and reading significantly associated with academic motivation and quality of life. So it is understandable that education policy largely focuses on developing strong readers at an early age. With that focus comes assessment requirements that can be confusing to parents and exhausting to educators. How do we communicate the value of assessments and the importance of data they return?
