Lexia Reading Reporting - The IT Education Company NZ

Using Data to Drive Instruction

As students work independently in the online activities, real-time performance data is collected through Lexia’s embedded assessment tool, Assessment Without Testing. Teachers can access data reports online through their myLexia accounts on a browser, iPad app, or iPhone app.

Within the data reports, a data-driven action plan is provided to take the guesswork out of differentiating instruction by focusing the teacher’s time on the greatest needs in the classroom and prescribing the instructional intensity needed to help students reach their end-of-year benchmark. The action plan identifies the skill areas in which the student is currently working, specific skills on which student needs instruction, the program usage based on the student’s recommended minutes in the program, and completed levels with certificates of achievement to celebrate success.

Reduce dependence on traditional testing and save up to one month of instructional time.

While students are working independently in the online activities, Lexia’s embedded assessment system, Assessment Without Testing®, provides teachers with actionable, norm-referenced performance data without interrupting the flow of instruction to administer a test. The assessment data is correlated to and highly predictive of outcomes on DIBELS, AIMSweb, MAPS and other commonly used norm-referenced assessments. This lowers expenditures on assessments and, according to a national survey, saves teachers up to a month of instructional time.

Administrators and educators can access data reports on a browser, iPad app, or iPhone app and are available at a student, class, year and school level.

Test Less, Teach More™

Predict students’ risk of reading failure

The myLexia data reports provide teachers with a “Performance Predictor” that informs them of each student’s percent chance reaching end-of-year benchmarks. Color-coded icons signify risk level in order to visually help teachers to quickly assess and compare the risk of reading failure associated with their students, classes, or schools. (Red = high risk; yellow = some risk; green = low risk.) The Performance Predictors also provide teachers a “Prescription of Intensity”—recommended levels of instructional intensity for each student — designed to improve chances of reaching their end-of-year target.

Prioritise allocation of time and resources

With access to detailed reports of school, year, class, and student data, teachers can make informed decisions by monitoring student progress and planning instruction based on students’ risk level and needs, helping to prioritise limited time. The Prescription of Intensity that is recommended for each student allows teachers to allocate computer time for each student, as well as additional reading block time and use of paraprofessionals. It also provides structured, skill-specific lessons, called Lexia Lessons (view examples), which offer step-by-step strategies for teachers or paraprofessionals specific to each student’s skill-gaps. This ensures that the appropriate skill-gaps are being addressed with targeted resources when students are stuggling.

Monitor academic growth

The myLexia data reports provide insight into progress on a school, year, class, and student level. The home page for each level provides a clear, real-time snapshot of how students are progressing toward year-level benchmarks. Monthly change in student reading gains is also identified, allowing teachers to monitor progress for each student and their entire class. Administrators can also view this change, giving them the ability to monitor reading gains over time on a year and school level.

In order for students to accelerate foundational reading skills and close the gap, it is important that they are meeting the recommended minutes in the program. In the myLexia reports, administrators have the ability to monitor class and teacher login usage to ensure the program is being used with fidelity in order to achieve reading success. Identifying teacher login usage is essential in determining whether the data is being utilised to drive instructional decisions.
