The National Lexile Study, a respected and recognized independent research analysis conducted by MetaMetrics®, the creators of the Lexile® Framework, was released today by Achieve3000. The study found that nearly 800,000 students in grades 2-12 who were active in Achieve3000 Literacy from 2020-2021 achieved almost two times their expected reading gains. As part of Achieve3000’s corporate commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, this year’s study includes the first-ever analysis of reading growth across race and ethnic groups. While there are some variations, all students achieved comparable rates of acceleration which increased with higher levels of engagement.

Findings of 2018-19 study completed by MetaMetrics show literacy growth across the board and major shifts in students’ predicted reading growth
