Achieve3000 is a program that we began in December.

Students took a pretest in December.  The pretest provided the current Lexile of your student.  A Lexile score is a reflection of how well your student comprehends the passage that he/she read.  We will be using Achieve3000 every Monday.  The goal is to increase the current Lexile level.

Students are encourage to use Achieve3000 outside of school.  The Lexile level will only be affected when the assessments are taken at school.  However, please encourage your student to access Achieve3000 as much as possible so they can grow in their reading skills.

The articles read will reflect Social Science topics.
