  Case: Lexile Scores
With the implementation of the new Georgia Milestones Assessment, there has been a push on ELA teachers to increase students' lexile scores. With all of the distractions associated with cell phones and social media sites, students just aren't as interested in reading any more. I require students to read (books in their lexile range) for 10-15 minutes at the start of each class. But how do I assess my students to know if their lexile scores are increasing?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Our school has purchased a Scholastic Program. With this program we are able to use the Scholastic Reading Inventory that measures the students' Lexile scores. We then test at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. I am very fond of the data analysis available through the teacher side of the programs. We also have a program for lower students, Read 180. There are numerous books that the students can read and test on. The test program is called Reading Counts Inventory, and the teacher has access to so much information to monitor the change of Lexile scores.
