Effect of Frequency of Program Use on Lexile Gains
Number of Reading Sessions Completed
Achieve3000 found a statistically significant relationship between the number of reading sessions completed
on Achieve3000 Solutions and student nonfiction Lexile/reading growth. High school students who used the
program at least twice weekly made the highest Lexile gains, more than four times the expected growth norms.

Effect of Quality of Program Use on Lexile Gains
Reading Activity Scores
In addition to analyzing the frequency of use, Achieve3000 also analyzed the quality of program use. The
multiple-choice activity is a critical component of the Five-Step Literacy Routine and is a simple indicator of
the degree to which students are applying themselves to the program. This formative assessment allows
progress monitoring of overall understanding of the text read.

 Reading Connections:
 Explicit Reading Comprehension Strategy
 Instruction and Application
 Achieve3000 provides explicit instruction on the seven key comprehension strategies for informational text.
 Two new features of the program, the Lesson Plans and the Reading Connections, help address this need.
 The Lesson Plans that provide this direct, explicit instruction are available within the Learning Center, and
 one lesson plan is always attached to the daily article. Within each article, students are encouraged to ap-
 ply the strategies of summarization and generating questions.

 Graded Thought Questions:
 The Reading-Writing Connection
 Research shows a direct connection between reading and writing. Writing instruction helps improve
 reading comprehension. The Thought Question is the fourth step in the Five-Step Literacy Routine and
 purposefully engages students in a formal writing process that allows them to apply knowledge they have
 acquired and express their thoughts through writing.

After School Usage
Research on adolescent literacy suggests that the amount of reading students do during out-of-school
hours is an accurate predictor of their in-school academic achievement. If after-school programs can mo-
tivate young people to read more and explore their interests through reading, this research suggests that
academic performance will improve.

National High School Lexile Study Effect of Frequency of Program Use on Lexile Gains Number of Reading Sessions Completed Achieve3000 found a statistically significant relationship between the number of reading sessions completed on Achieve3000 Solutions and student nonfiction Lexile/reading growth. High school students who used the program at least twice weekly made the highest Lexile gains, more than four times the expected growth norms.

  • 9. National High School Lexile Study Effect of Quality of Program Use on Lexile Gains Reading Activity Scores In addition to analyzing the frequency of use, Achieve3000 also analyzed the quality of program use. The multiple-choice activity is a critical component of the Five-Step Literacy Routine and is a simple indicator of the degree to which students are applying themselves to the program. This formative assessment allows progress monitoring of overall understanding of the text read. Quality of Usage Results for High School Students To assess the effect of the quality of use on student Lexile gains, Achieve3000 assigned students from within its study to one of the following categories: •Group 1 (Less than 65% or greater than 90%): Students who averaged less than 65% or greater than 90% on the multiple-choice portion of the Five- Step Literacy Routine. •Group 2 (Between 65% and 90%, Students averaging less than Students averaging between inclusive): Students who averaged 65% or greater than 90%: 65% and 90%, inclusive: between 65% and 90%, inclusive, on the multiple-choice portion of the Five- Average Lexile gain of 82 points Average Lexile gain of 115 points Step Literacy Routine.

  • 11. National High School Lexile Study Reading Connections: Explicit Reading Comprehension Strategy Instruction and Application Achieve3000 provides explicit instruction on the seven key comprehension strategies for informational text. Two new features of the program, the Lesson Plans and the Reading Connections, help address this need. The Lesson Plans that provide this direct, explicit instruction are available within the Learning Center, and one lesson plan is always attached to the daily article. Within each article, students are encouraged to ap- ply the strategies of summarization and generating questions.

  • 13. National High School Lexile Study After School Usage Research on adolescent literacy suggests that the amount of reading students do during out-of-school hours is an accurate predictor of their in-school academic achievement. If after-school programs can mo- tivate young people to read more and explore their interests through reading, this research suggests that academic performance will improve. 64% of Achieve3000 High Schools high school students After School Usage across the nation logged in after 64% school hours. These students logged in 540,101 times after school during the 2009-2010 school year. 11
