The Scholastic Lexile Programme is a 15-year-old reading incentive program designed to encourage reading, especially for boys, by matching readers to appropriate books based on their comprehension levels as determined by a 20-40 question online test. Students then select books within 50 levels of their scored level and earn points for successful quizzes to track their reading progress over time.
