MyReadingLab Overview

MyReadingLab is an online application that combines diagnostics, practice exercises, tests, and assessments to help you work with your students to improve their reading skills and reading levels.

Reading-skill diagnostic tests assess students' mastery of critical reading skills. Based on the diagnostic results, MyReadingLab recommends Study Plan topics that will help each student improve his or her reading skills.
Reading-level diagnostics use the Lexile Framework® to accurately assess each student's reading level and help each student improve. The results of the initial diagnostic test (called the Lexile Locator) assign a Lexile measure to a student, from 400 to 1490. MyReadingLab can then offer the student a unique set of exercises that are designed to help the student improve his or her Lexile measure.
Tip: The MyReadingLab website (http://www.myreadinglab.com/lexile.html) has information on the Lexile Framework reading and achievement measurements. There is also a link to the Lexile website (http://www.lexile.com), which has full details on the methods used for matching reader ability and text difficulty.

MyReadingLab courses provide a wide range of content for students working to advance their reading skills and levels. As the instructor, you can customize the course, specifying course content, mastery levels, diagnostic testing, and which topics are available to students.
