Literacy Benchmarking & Progress Monitoring

A simple cycle. A clearer picture of Literacy.

STEP 1: BEGINNING OF  YEAR (BOY) BENCHMARKING

Establish each student's starting level through online assessments for reading comprehension and oral reading fluency. 

Reading Comprehension: 20 questions

Oral Reading Fluency: Three 1 minute passages

STEP 2: GOAL SETTING & PROGRESS MONITORING

After BOY benchmarking, set individualized goals and commence progress monitoring.

ORF progress monitoring checks: One 1-minute passage every 10 days (approx.)

Review and update goals as needed.

STEP 3: ACTIONABLE DATA TRACKING

Use student data to personalize learning plans.

Data reporting includes Lexile® measures, as well as grade level approximations and percentile lines for easy interpretation. 

Meaningful Reporting

Reports are available in two key views: 

• how students are performing compared to national student norms at the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles, and

• individualized growth rates (growth factor).

All growth calculations and grade level approximations are calculated using the Lexile® Grade Level Charts from MetaMetrics Inc.
