Dear Parent / Guardian,
Achieve3000 is a computer-based reading program that reaches every
student at his or her own level. Your child will receive reading
materials that are not too easy nor too difficult, but are at just
the right level to help increase his/her literacy skills and to
prepare for college and career.
Research has shown that students best develop their reading
skills when they work with text that is matched to their
independent reading level. With Achieve3000, all students in the
class read the same lesson, but the difficulty is precisely matched
to each individual student's reading level.
The purpose of the Achieve 3000 LevelSet test is to establish
your child's reading level so Achieve3000 can provide the
appropriate content. Note that this is only one measure of your
child's reading level.
This score may be adjusted over the course of the school year as
your child's reading abilities progress.
MetaMetrics, the makers of the Lexile Framework, prepared the
chart below to describe typical Lexile levels by grade. To
interpret the chart, find your child's grade level and refer to the
right-hand column to find the
typical Lexile range for students in that grade. For example, most
students in 7th grade typically are reading between a 925L and
1235L. Keep in mind that the reading abilities of young people in
the same grade at school can vary just as much as their shoe
sizes.

number represents the 75th percentile for typical students at that
grade level
