Believing is Achieving

Achieve3000 Differentiated Literacy Solutions for Grades 2-12

Achieve3000 believes that every student—mainstream, struggling

readers, English language learners, special needs, and gifted alike—can

reach higher. That all students have the ability to improve their reading

and writing. And that with this ability, they have the means to master the

curriculum, to succeed on state and national assessments and meet AYP

goals, to meet and exceed the standards set by Common Core, to be

prepared for college and career with the tools and confidence to excel.

Achieve3000 believes that literacy is the key to unlocking the vast and

unrealized potential of learners in America and around the world. With the

differentiated instruction solutions and support they need, teachers are

empowered as never before to lead their students to be proficient readers

and writers. By reaching and teaching all kids one-on-one at their individual

reading levels and constantly challenging them to achieve the next level

of success, teachers using Achieve3000’s solutions are making literacy

breakthroughs for millions of students every day.

The improvements we’ve seen are phenomenal. Achieve3000 excites and engages kids, and the teachers think it’s wonderful. Assistant Superintendent, Tucson Unified School District, AZ

Achieve3000 Differentiated Online Literacy Solutions: at the core of achievementAs the Common Core State Standards continue to raise the bar for K-12 education, the need for students to read and comprehend complex texts has never been greater. This ability is at the core of student achievement, College and Career Readiness, and meeting the competitive challenges of a better-educated world. At Achieve3000, we believe—and are proving every day—that differentiated online literacy instruction is the surest path to giving students the ability to be independent readers and achievers.

An uncommon solution to a common problemIn every classroom, students have varying abilities to read and write – whether at, below or above expected Lexile/reading levels. Achieve3000 solutions level the playing field by taking an uncommon approach. Our online differentiated solutions for grades 2-12 give teachers the means to reach

every student at his or her individual level. By delivering the same assignment to each student at his or her specific Lexile/reading level, Achieve allows everyone to be a successful, active participant in classroom discussions and debates.

Proprietary technology,proven methodology

Extended reachAchieve3000 solutions extend teachers’ reach by differentiating content for them. Now teachers can spend more time actually teaching. By providing extra scaffolds for English language learners and students in need of intervention, our solutions also extend teachers’ ability

to help every student be successful. And, by reaching parents and guardians with our Home Edition, we also extend students’ learning beyond the school day. Achieve believes—and the results show—that additional time on task makes every student a better reader and writer.

Achieve3000’s KidBiz3000, TeenBiz3000, and Empower3000 solutions are all built on a uniquely effective foundation—the use of nonfiction text and real-time Lexile assessment enabled by our partnership with MetaMetrics®, developers of the Lexile Framework. By establishing students’ starting Lexile/reading levels with our LevelSet assessment tool, differentiating non-fiction text at 19 different levels, and continually increasing the complexity of text as students make progress, Achieve3000 steadily moves students to greater levels of success. Importantly, our solutions enable all students to succeed—mainstream, struggling readers, English language learners, special needs, and gifted students alike.

Proof positiveTo be college and career ready, students need to comprehend more complex texts. Achieve3000 helps make this happen. National studies show that students using Achieve3000 solutions are more than doubling their expected Lexile/reading gains. The gain is even greater for below-level readers, the students most in need of improvement.
