This is a pilot study for the establishment of a Korean-Lexile system. The reading camp consisted of 24 elementary school students from grades 1 through 6, with intensive English reading guidance on various books as teaching materials, covering four hours and 12 times per day. A one-to-one diagnosis was conducted for the 24 subjects and the changes in the program’s subjects' pre- and post-reading ability were compared and analyzed. In addition, the trend of Lexile changes was analyzed according to the trend of the reading ability change. The results of the pre-diagnosis ability of the subjects showed that they were generally below benchmarks, and the difference in the ability within the group was large. The results of the post-diagnosis ability of the subjects showed an improvement of reading ability and the Lexile index. The correlation between post-diagnosis reading ability and change in the Lexile index was generally static, but the increase in the number of Lexile per person was not consistent with the increase in reading ability. Based on the results, the study emphasizes the need for follow-up studies and the establishment of a Korean-Lexile system.
