Literacy tests for the ETS ReadBasix™ Assessment will be linked to the widely adopted Lexile® Framework for Reading, an independent, evidence-based approach to pair students with books and materials at their reading level. The connection of these tools will assist educators in improving students' literacy skills, which for many children were negatively impacted by disruptions to their education caused by the pandemic.
