Teachers Mitigate Reading Learning Loss for Millions of Students With MetaMetrics’ Lexile Measures From Acadience Learning K-6
Summary
Acadience Reading K–6 is a universal screening and progress monitoring assessment that measures the acquisition of early literacy skills from kindergarten through sixth grade. “The efforts of Utah teachers during the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic have been heroic, but, like other states around the country, we still saw dramatic increases in learning loss across all grade levels, with first graders showing the largest decrease in English/language arts scores,” said Darin Nielsen, the state’s assistant superintendent of student learning. Using Lexile measures from Acadience Learning, teachers will now have a powerful tool for using assessment to inform instruction and connecting students with reading materials that will help them grow their abilities and get back on track. “With most schools having returned to their ‘normal’ schedules, educators continue to be faced with the unprecedented challenge of mitigating learning loss brought on by the unanticipated impact of the pandemic,” said Malbert Smith, CEO and co-founder of MetaMetrics. Lexile and Quantile measures and related technologies link assessment to instruction and provide next steps for students of all ages and abilities.
