Lenses on Literature: Period Benchmark Reading Assessments (MetaMetrics)

Metametrics® (Lexile®) is available in the Clear Learning Center.  This integration enables teachers to assign benchmark reading assessments and view student Lexile® measures.

This feature will enable you to:

• Track reading growth via Lexile®.
• Use benchmark assessments for a Baseline/BOY, Midpoint/MOY and Final/EOY. 

These are research-based assessments grounded in the Lexile® Framework for Reading, providing Lexile® measures as one indicator of students’ reading ability.
They’re designed to be administered multiple times throughout the year to track growth—and importantly, they’re meant to be used as part of the literacy system. That means they work alongside classroom observations, student work, and formative assessment data—to give a more complete picture of each student’s reading development.

In order to access Period Benchmark Reading Assessments, go to Assessments at the course level.

You will see the three Benchmark Assessments as well as a short guide to using them. 

1. The Baseline Reading Assessment: Intended to be assigned at BOY. The baseline contains the locator screener which appropriately places students within an aligned form for baseline assessment. 
2. The Midpoint Reading Assessment: Intended to be assigned in MOY. Midpoint assessment can not be taken if the Baseline was not previously completed.
3. The Final Reading Assessment: Intended to be assigned at EOY. Final assessment can not be taken if the Baseline was not previously completed.
