Lexile levels are given to people based on their ability to comprehend what they are reading. If a student has a low lexile level, they need to be reading articles that are on that level so they will understand the content. Likewise, a student with a high lexile level needs to be challenged with new vocabulary while they practice what they already know. Either way, all students need to learn at their rate of comprehension. Achieve allows all students to learn the same material written at their specific learning levels.

Lexile Levels measure reading comprehension. When we are aware of a student's reading comprehension level, we can begin to analyze data and close any gaps. We can also make work more challenging for students with high comprehension levels. We want to prepare our students for college/careers. In order to succeed on those paths, we must push our students toward growth.

Students are tested and their lexile level is measured. Since this is a normed test, we can see where the student is in comparison with other students on their grade level. When teachers see this date, they can support their students more effectively.

Achieve3000 is a program that focuses on where the student is at and builds from there instead of trying to provide the instruction from a predetermined level. We are using it because our program involves students from different levels and not placed in a classroom based on any data.

That we lose focus on the purpose of what TPA is. While academic success is important. Given the short amount of time we have the kids, I feel we need to be laser focused on what our goals with these kids are and not a "catch all". Most of our kids did not come to TPA because of their grades rather then the poor choices made during a time of conflict. I want our students to leave us with tools that allow them to deal with the problems they encounter.
