* The 2000-point scale Renaissance Learning has created Because Lexile uses fewer characteristics to estimate the
above is a transformation of a book’s ATOS level to a scale reading difficulty level of a book, Renaissance Learning
that is similar—but not identical—to the Lexile scale. The would expect Lexile to be somewhat less accurate than
transformation was derived by analyzing ATOS and Lexile ATOS. The 2000-point scale information should be
data on more than 19,000 books. ATOS measures are useful to anyone who is accustomed to using Lexiles,
based on four characteristics of the book (average sentence because its values will be reasonable approximations in
length, average word length, vocabulary grade level, and most cases. Lexile and the Lexile Framework are registered
the number of words in the book), while Lexile measures trademarks of MetaMetrics, Inc.
are based on two (sentence length and word frequency).
