  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!)
Anytime a child reads, whether it is a newspaper article, magazine article, or a flyer posted around school, they are raising their lexile scores. The STAR assessment is the tool that measures a student's increase in reading level. Encouraging students to read the first 10-15 minutes of class is awesome, don't change that. Just encourage them to read more than just books, but to read material that is within their level of interest.

Comments: This is great and could be pair with a type of sharing assignment with the class to write a recap of what they read.
