Company History
Founded in 1984, MetaMetrics’ development work was initially funded through a series of grants by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the National Institutes of Health. These grants supported the research on reading and psychometric theory that culminated in the development of The Lexile Framework for Reading. The reading framework is the product of more than 20 years of research by MetaMetrics co-founders Drs. A. Jackson Stenner IV and Malbert Smith III; Dr. Donald Burdick, professor emeritus of statistics of Duke University and MetaMetrics Consultant; and faculty members from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Chicago.
The organization’s renowned psychometric team continually works to further The Lexile Frameworks for Reading and Writing and the Quantile Framework, as well as to develop other measurement tools for educational assessments.
