Patron Lexiles tab


Info
titleLexiles are an optional feature of Alexandria

This tab only appears if you are licensed to use COMPanion's Lexile Measures. If you are interested in Lexile integration, contact your COMPanion sales representative to inquire about obtaining Lexile Measures product codes. Once this feature has been activated, Lexile Measures will be available from within Alexandria.

This tab is made up of tables that contain the following lexile score data: grade (K-13), lexile value, testing source for the lexile value, and last recorded lexile date. The information contained in these tables are used to track your student's reading progress as they move from kindergarten through high school.

Clicking Show Graph will generate an electronic Patron Lexile Graph report showing the patron's lexile level compared to the default lexile level. This report can be used for emailing or printing purposes.

Reading is essential to your patron's success. We strongly encourage your patrons to read at least five books in their targeted range in order to grow as a reader. Your patron's targeted range is 50 points above or 150 points below his or her current reading level.

For more information on the importance and increasing permeance of lexile scoring, please read  section.


If you know your Current Patron’s lexile scores (per grade), you can provide them here by clicking on the corresponding Grade table. Once you do so, the Lexile window will appear, allowing you to provide the Lexile score (e.g. zero through 2000), the testing Source (e.g. PSAT, TAKS, Aprenda), and the Date that their last lexile test was performed.

Lexile Field Numbers for Import/Export

The field number for a Lexile Student is 1060. All of a patron's lexile information (per grade) is contained in a single string; cells are separated by || and rows are separated by //.

For instance, the Lexile tab in your Patrons Management window might look like this:

Or, for simplification purposes, the information contained in the Lexile tab can also be represented by the following table:

GradeLexileTesting SourceDate
K0000N/A9/5/10
1200Classroom Reading9/6/11
2400SAT9/4/12
HTML
</center>


The information exemplified above is stored as a single string in the Alexandria database as such:

K||200||Testing Source One||1/20/15//1//2||400||Test Two||2/21/17

Keep in mind that a Lexile Student import is on a per-row basis, so rows missing from the import will not be affected. Therefore, to properly clear an entire table, you would need to import an entry as follows:

K//1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//10//11//12//13
