Lexia’s Data System for Personalized Learning:
Making data simple and actionable for Educators
www.mylexia.com
Assessment Without Testing®
• Real-time, norm-referenced performance data
• Assessment data is highly predictive of outcomes
on commonly used assessments such as:
– DIBELS®
– MAP®
– AIMSweb®
– GRADE®
• Ongoing progress monitoring without a test event:
– Predict future performance and Prescribe Instructional
Intensity
– Monitoring of performance toward meeting Common
Core State Standards
– Saves teachers up to a month of instruction time across
the year
Goal of Assessment
“The goal is to gain enough information
about student progress to make effective
decisions while minimizing the time spent
administering assessments.”
Torgesen, 2006

Prediction of Future Performance
Lexia’s Performance Predictors
• Indicates each student’s percent chance of reaching the endof-year benchmark for his or her grade level
Rosie has a 27% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark
Juan has a 35% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark
Max has a 62% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark
Lily has a 84% chance of reaching end-of-year benchmark
Performance Predictors
Overall Risk Level is divided into three categories:
80–100%* = On Target
31–79% = Some Risk
1–30% = High Risk
* Students who have already met end-of-year benchmark have a Performance
Predictor of 100%.

(K-12)
Prescription of Intensity
1. The number of minutes
the student should use
the software
2. The targeted, teacher-led
instructional materials
to be used for that
student
3. The frequent analysis of
student data
Closing the gap… and changing the future
Two-thirds of High-Risk
students reached grade-level
benchmarks and demonstrated
proficiency on commonly used
grade-level assessments

geographically and ethnically representative sample

Fidelity of Implementation
It is only as powerful as stated if it is used
with fidelity: How do I ensure fidelity?
Best Practices
1. Students have enough time to interact with
the online activities.
2. Teachers utilize reports to monitor student
performance and make educational
decisions.
3. Students receive additional lessons based on
their performance in the online activities.
How do I make sure students are getting enough
time on the online activities?
• Classroom Center Rotation
• Computer Lab
• Before or After school programs
• Intervention block/Special Education
• Home Use
Integrating Lexia Reading into the Classroom
As an Administrator: How do I monitor Implementation?
• Students have enough time to interact with the software.
– Look on your home page: How many students are meeting
their recommended usage?
• Teachers utilize reports to monitor student performance.
– Look at the Staff Usage Report: How many times in the last
30 days have the teachers logged in to look at reports?
• Students receive additional lessons based on their
performance in the software.
– Discuss with teachers if they are delivering the lessons.
– Check the Class Home Page Plan Instruction Lists to make
sure students are not on the list for extended periods of
time.

As a Teacher: How do I monitor Implementation?
• Students have enough time to interact with the software.
– Look on your home page: How many students are meeting their
recommended usage? How many students need more time?
• Teachers utilize reports to monitor student performance.
– Make sure you are logging in on at least a weekly basis to
monitor progress
– Set student progress emails to weekly to help remind you when
students are struggling or can celebrate successes
• Students receive additional lessons based on their performance in
the software.
– Check the Plan Instruction List on your home page and click on
the Lesson icon to view the lessons that students need
– Deliver the lessons and monitor performance after the lesson
.
Teacher Resources Tab
Two Key Guides and References

pre-teaching vocabulary to ELL students
– Understand the task and how the level of difficulty
increases
– Access the passages from the comprehension and fluency
activities
• User’s Guide to Reports
