Scholastic Literacy Pro is available with the Professional and Enterprise tiers in Snapplify Engage. It uses Lexile levels to support student reading growth with personalised book recommendations.
Scholastic Literacy Pro is powered by the Lexile® Framework for Reading. A Lexile (L) is a unit of measurement that measures two critical aspects relevant to reading comprehension on the same scale:
A student’s reading comprehension
The difficulty of a text
Both are assessed using the same scale through a computer-based system.
A student's Lexile is determined by the LitPro Test, which adapts to their answers.
A book’s Lexile is calculated by analyzing its vocabulary and sentence structure.
With over 30 years of research behind them, Lexile levels are the most widely used system for matching students with appropriate reading materials. When students read books at the right level:
- They understand about 75% of the content
- They stay motivated without becoming frustrated
- They improve vocabulary, comprehension, and general knowledge
The ideal target range is:
- 100L below to 50L above the student’s Lexile score
Using Lexile levels
After taking the LitPro Test, students receive a Lexile level and a personalised reading list in Scholastic Literacy Pro. These recommendations are based on their ability and interests.
To start reading:
Open your school’s Snapplify Engage e-library
Search for ebooks using your Lexile level
Borrow a book from the list to begin reading
Books recommended are just challenging enough to encourage growth—without being too difficult.
