After the initial LevelSet assessment, the system monitors student Lexile gains throughout the school year using their performance on Activities. At the end of the month, the system will review scores from the Activities completed by the student and will adjust the Lexile level, if needed. It’s possible that a student is working at her “just right reading level” and an adjustment does not need to be made. Please note the following conditions:
Monitoring Progress Teachers can monitor student performance on Activities at any time using the Student Work report by opening the Menu ≡, and selecting Student Work under Reports. A home page alert (in the Key Insights section) will display for teachers one week prior to the monthly Lexile review. Once the review has been completed, the Home Page alert will provide information on the students who have been affected. This alert provides a link to the How has Lexile performance changed over time? report where you can review the most recent Lexile information on the students in your class(es).
Developing Readers Students who have been identified as Developing Readers will not be included in these automatic Lexile adjustments. Developing Readers have scored below 50L on LevelSet or, if enrolled in the Intervention or Language solutions, have scored at or below 150L. Students in this category need continued practice at their current Lexile level and may need assistance completing the multiple-choice activities that are part of each lesson. Decreasing Lexiles In some cases, students may show a decrease in Lexile score following the system review of Activities. If this occurs, the Home Page alert will display and direct teachers to review the scores for students whose Lexile measures decrease more than what is allowed for measurement error. This gives teachers the opportunity of accepting the decreased Lexile level or overriding the score decrease and keeping the Lexile level the same as the previous month.
NOTE: If students’ Lexile scores
consistently decrease beyond allowable limits, a follow-up conversation may be
warranted to ensure they are taking the activities seriously.
