Submit Text to Content Measurement

After you have signed an agreement you can send your files to MetaMetrics to receive official measurements for your materials. These measures can be published using the reporting guidelines outlined in Reporting Lexile Reading Measures and Reporting Quantile Student Measures for Students and Materials.

  1. Prepare your submission form.

    The submission form should have a unique entry for each text you want analyzed. This includes: Title, Author, Publisher, Copyright, ISBN 10/13, Page Count, Age/Grade Range, F/NF, Series, binding info (if applicable), language and any additional authors or “retold by” authors. Rows that have a red background are required fields.

    Download the submission form.

  2. Gather content you want to submit and make sure it is in the proper format.

    You can submit PDF, Word, RTF, or TXT files. The preferred file format is a low resolution PDF file. For Word, RTF, and TXT files an image file or hard copy must be provided. The text provided must be in the original, final format.

    If you have more than 5 files to submit, add them to a zip file for an easier upload.
