Learn the importance of a vertical scale in measuring reading growth toward college and career readiness, specifically the Lexile Framework for Reading as a way to track growth and differentiate reading instruction.
Given the demands of the Common Core, we will also discuss how to improve student reading levels through the increased use of information texts, increased levels of text complexity and more time spent reading targeted text.
We will also look at how Achieve3000, in a longtime partnership with MetaMetrics, developed products that use these important metrics and align with the Common Core.
