National Lexile Study Shows Accelerated Reading Growth Across Ethnic Groups

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.
