Literacy Solutions

Improved literacy is as much of an imperative for adult learners as it is for 2-12 learners. As the need to comprehend increasingly complex information grows in the workplace, many adults are challenged to keep up. That's why Achieve created the Spark3000® differentiated instruction solution.

Spark3000® works in much the same way as Achieve's award-winning, proven-effective KidBiz3000®, TeenBiz3000® and Empower3000™ solutions. By reaching students at their individual reading levels, and assessing progress continually, Spark3000 accelerates literacy gains that translate into greater ability to make career and workforce gains. Because it's accessible 24/7 anywhere there is an Internet connection, Spark3000 provides the convenience and flexibility adult learners require.

• Proven path to achievement. Spark3000 utilizes the same Five-step Literacy Routine that works so well in Achieve's solutions for grades 2-12
• Ongoing assessment and content adjustment. Spark3000 utilizes Achieve's LevelSet™ assessment tool to benchmark learners' reading comprehension of informational text. Achieve's content engine then self-adjusts content based on ongoing assessment — leading learners to higher and higher comprehension levels
• Engagement and motivation. Because differentiated instruction matches each individual's ability — and because the daily non-fiction subject matter relates to learners' lives — engagement is immediate and motivation remains high
• Aligns to all key standards. All content and reports are aligned to NRS/EFF, CASAS and state standards. Spark3000 even automatically notifies instructors when students have progressed to re-take TABE or CASAS

• Spanish-language support. Spanish language support, based on learners' English language Lexile/reading levels, enables English language learners to work independently and make significant and steady progress
