LevelSet measures students’ abilities to comprehend non-fiction, informational passages. After your students have taken LevelSet, you should check their Lexile scores to be sure they are consistent with what is known about their reading abilities. When you review your students’ scores, look for results that match what you know about the student. A LevelSet test result that is lower or higher than other tests does not necessarily indicate an invalid administration. Taking time to prepare students and the assessment environment to facilitate students’ best efforts will help ensure valid Lexile scores. As soon as one student in any of your classes finishes LevelSet, the Key Insights section will display an alert with the following message: LevelSet scores are available! This message remains available as long as any student in any of your classes has taken LevelSet within the past three weeks. Click More to see a popup with explanatory text. This message is a reminder to check your students’ LevelSet scores and act upon any that don’t match what you know about students’ reading abilities. Click the ‘click here’ text to see LevelSet results report. Note: This alert may also contain information on possible invalid test results and students who are scoring at the lower ranges of the Lexile scale. For more information, go to Identifying Invalid LevelSet Assessments or to Identifying Developing Readers. You can review your students’ test scores using the report at any time:
Students must complete the LevelSet assessment before accessing any content on the Achieve3000 system. Follow these steps to identify students who have not yet taken the test and, if necessary, to remove them from your class or school roster.
