Mid-Year Gains Analysis READ 180 & System 44 Lodi Unified School District Results Based on Program Data 08/01/2014 – 01/16/15 1

Executive Summary In partnership with the district, Scholastic has analyzed data from implementations at 36 sites that have used READ 180 & System 44 reading intervention programs this school year. Preliminary Analysis Observations • Data were analyzed for 1, 390 READ 180 and 1, 849 System 44 enrolled students -- producing 996 READ 180 and 1, 050 System 44 records for gains analysis. • At time of export, 70 students were enrolled in both READ 180 & System 44 with sessions on one or both programs; these students are counted in one data set only based upon majority software usage (45 System 44 & 25 READ 180). • Mid-year February data export indicates evidence of strong growth with strong software use in READ 180 and System 44.

Lexile Annual Growth Goals Using Student’s Fall SRI Performance & Grade Level to Set Goals for Students • SRI can be used to set reading goals and to compare students’ response to instruction to growth expectations from fall to spring. • Monitoring growth helps educators to determine if students are on track to meet achievement standards. • Expected growth can be determined by fall SRI Lexile and grade level; for more on using fall Lexiles to set growth goals consult the professional paper Growth Expectations – Setting Achievable Goals • Tier III reading intervention students are unlikely to reach personal growth goals without a firm grasp of phonemic principles. • Scholastic recommends that System 44 students receive 3 Scholastic Phonics Inventory (SPI) Tests to monitor emerging skills. • Without knowledge of a student beyond data in the export, Gains Analysts simply assign student records with personal Lexile growth goals derived from tables similar to the one at the right.

This work was done with Meta Metrics, Scholastic’s measurement partner and creator of the Lexile Framework. To establish the new performance levels, Meta Metrics conducted an extensive study of college and career texts. The new score ranges more accurately reflect whether students are on track to comprehend college and career level texts by the end of high school. Scholastic Data Services 29
