Using SRI SRI tests reading comprehension and helps teachers place students in programs, target students’ needs, and track reading growth over time.

The test is computer adaptive, which means it adjusts to the students’ responses.

SRI has a bank of over 3,000 test questions, based exclusively on passages from authentic children’s literature.

Lexile® measures align with grade levels that teachers can use for instruction and for matching students to texts.
