Auto Placement

Auto Placement is a tool used only once, when the students first login to Core5. It is designed to place the students in the program at a grade level of material appropriate for them based on their performance.

Lexia Reading Core5Scope and Sequence

• Skills address 5 major components of Reading Instruction

• Designed for students of all abilities preK - 5th grade

• Gradual Release of Responsibility framework within the Instructional Model

• Embedded, explicit instruction to create truly personalized learning experience for every student

myLexia Lexia’s Data System for Personalized Learning:Making data simple and actionable for Educators

www.mylexia.com

• Real-time, norm-referenced performance data

• Assessment data is highly predictive of outcomes on commonly used assessments such as:

– DIBELS® – MAP®– AIMSweb® – GRADE®

• Ongoing progress monitoring without a test event:– Predict future performance and Prescribe Instructional

Intensity– Monitoring of performance toward meeting Common

Core State Standards– Saves teachers up to a month of instruction time across

the year

Assessment Without Testing®

Goal of Assessment

“The goal is to gain enough information about student progress to make effective decisions while minimizing the time spent administering assessments.”

Torgesen, 2006

Prediction of Future Performance

Lexia’s Performance Predictors

• Indicates each student’s percent chance of reaching the end-of-year benchmark for his or her grade level

Rosie has a 27% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark

Juan has a 35% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark

Max has a 62% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark

Lily has a 84% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark

Performance Predictors

Overall Risk Level is divided into three categories:

80–100%* = On Target

31–79% = Some Risk

1–30% = High Risk

* Students who have already met end-of-year benchmark have a Performance

Predictor of 100%.

The Power of the Prescription:

What is the difference between meeting usage and not meeting usage?

Prescription of Intensity

(K-12)

Prescription of Intensity

1. The number of minutes the student should use the software

2. The targeted, teacher-led instructional materials to be used for that student

3. The frequent analysis of student data

Closing the gap… and changing the future

Two-thirds of High-Risk students reached grade-level benchmarks and

demonstrated proficiency on commonly used grade-

level assessments

2013 National analysis of 45,000 high-risk students using Lexia Reading in a geographically and ethnically representative sample

LEXIA LESSONS AND SKILL BUILDERS

What are Lexia Lessons?

Fidelity of Implementation

It is only as powerful as stated if it is used with fidelity: How do I ensure fidelity?

Best Practices

1. Students have enough time to interact with the online activities.

2. Teachers utilize reports to monitor student performance and make educational decisions.

3. Students receive additional lessons based on their performance in the online activities.

How do I make sure students are getting enough time on the online activities?

• Classroom Center Rotation• Computer Lab• Before or After school programs• Intervention block/Special Education• Home Use

Integrating Lexia Reading into the Classroom

.

As an Administrator: How do I monitor Implementation?

• Students have enough time to interact with the software.– Look on your home page: How many students are meeting

their recommended usage?• Teachers utilize reports to monitor student performance.

– Look at the Staff Usage Report: How many times in the last 30 days have the teachers logged in to look at reports?

• Students receive additional lessons based on their performance in the software.

– Discuss with teachers if they are delivering the lessons.– Check the Class Home Page Plan Instruction Lists to make

sure students are not on the list for extended periods of time.

As a Teacher: How do I monitor Implementation?

• Students have enough time to interact with the software.– Look on your home page: How many students are meeting their

recommended usage? How many students need more time?• Teachers utilize reports to monitor student performance.

– Make sure you are logging in on at least a weekly basis to monitor progress

– Set student progress emails to weekly to help remind you when students are struggling or can celebrate successes

• Students receive additional lessons based on their performance in the software.

– Check the Plan Instruction List on your home page and click on the Lesson icon to view the lessons that students need

– Deliver the lessons and monitor performance after the lesson

Teacher Resources Tab

Two Key Guides and References• Teacher’s Guide to the Software

– Learn each word in every unit of every activity to help with pre-teaching vocabulary to ELL students

– Understand the task and how the level of difficulty increases

– Access the passages from the comprehension and fluency activities

• User’s Guide to Reports– Each report is explained using a Who, What, Where, When

and Why format
