System 44 during the 2011-2012 school year.
Evidence of Success:
• 256 of 779 READ 180 students (33%) had 2.0 + years of reading gain during
the time frame.
• 404 of 779 READ 180 students (52%) had 1.0 + years of reading gain during
the time frame.
• 8 READ 180 schools had at least 1.0+ years of reading gain.
• 58 of 146 System 44 students (40%) had 4.0+ points in SPI fluency gains

Recommendations
•
Take steps to replicate the success of schools that showed greatest gains.
•
Reinforce importance of on-model implementation to building-level
leadership by following regular reporting protocol and review of
implementation status.
•
Continue to provide teachers professional development in literacy.
•
Continue coaching to increase implementation and enhance teacher
instructional practices.
•
Evaluate expansion of READ 180 and System 44 into additional areas of high
need.

Annual Lexile Growth
Expectations by Grade Level
Scholastic and MetaMetrics analyzed Lexile
growth from a large urban district whose
demographics resembled those of the nation.
Six years of growth data was collected for more
than 350,000 students in Grades 3-10.
Trends revealed:
• Annual growth expectations are greater
for students in lower Lexile ranges than in
higher Lexile ranges.
• Average growth tends to be greater in
the lower grades, and lower in the higher
grades.
