• Indicators of Success•384 of 1,043 (37%) of READ 180 students demonstrated at least one year’s reading growth on Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI)•Of those READ 180 students, 127 (12%) demonstrated at least two years’ reading growth on SRI•249 of 439 (57%) of System 44 students demonstrated at least one year’s growth on Scholastic Phonics Inventory (SPI) Fluency•51 of 519 (10%) of System 44 students demonstrated at least one year’s growth on SRI

•Data Included in Analysis•Lodi’s Gains Analysis includes student results from 7/30/12 to 2/13/13. To be included in the analysis, student records must:

•Include at least 6 sessions (days) of software usage•Include at least two SRI tests, administered at least 6 weeks apart (READ 180 & System 44)•Include at least two SPI tests, administered at least 6 weeks apart (System 44)

To reach “Reading Super Star” status, student’s must have:

1. Include at least 20 sessions (days) of software usage

2. Between 1 and 4 year’s approximate grade level growth

3. Pre-Test SRI Lexile score of over 100L.

System 44 Super Stars

Data indicate 32 System 44 Super Stars with evidence of both strong participation and Lexile Gains. The top 10 are shown above.

To reach “Reading Super Star” status, student’s must have:

1. Include at least 20 sessions (days) of software usage

SPI Proficiency ResultsSystem 44 Student Decoding Status

Scholastic recommends that System 44 students complete the SPI three times a year for screening and progress monitoring. Students included in this analysis completed at least two SPI tests. Students should be moving into higher levels of decoding as they progress through the program.

12

SRI Proficiency ResultsChanges in System 44 Student SRI Performance

Scholastic recommends that System 44 students complete the SRI three to four times a year for screening and progress monitoring. Students included in this analysis completed at least two SRI tests at least 6 weeks apart. Results are positive when lower, non-proficient reader populations decline and higher, proficient reader populations increase. Students with low-level phonemic awareness likely are operating under the SRI Lexile scale.

Recommendations• Continue full implementation of READ 180 at

secondary schools

• Continue coaching and cadre meeting support for READ 180 teachers

• Expand elementary implementation at:– Beckman, Needham, Lawrence, Sutherland, Washington
