===The Lexile Framework===
In 1988, Jack Stenner and his associates at MetaMetrics, Inc. published a new system, the [[Lexile|Lexile Framework]], for assessing readability and matching students with appropriate texts.
 
The Lexile framework uses average sentence length, and average word frequency in the American Heritage Intermediate Corpus to predict a score on a 0–2000 scale. The AHI Corpus includes five million words from 1,045 published works often read by students in grades three to nine.<!--what's this trying to say?-->
 
The Lexile Book Database has more than 100,000 titles from more than 450 publishers. By knowing a student's Lexile score, a teacher can find books that match his or her reading level.<ref name="Stenner">Stenner, A. J., I Horabin, D. R. Smith, and R. Smith. 1988.
