What's Next for Students Who Finish Core5?
- Show teachers the Close Reading passages for higher level thinking. Go to the Core5 Resources Hub here and find the Lexia Close Reads Overview.
- Check to see that the student has completed Lexia Skill Builders for each of the levels s/he has completed. Skill Builders are designed to reinforce and extend online learning. If not, assign Skill Builders for students to complete offline.
- Lexia Connection, particularly the Curriculum Links section, can also be used to provide additional practice opportunities and will further strengthen a student's understanding concepts.
- Work collaboratively (teachers, coaches, and others) to review data to identify areas of strength and opportunities for reinforcement and determine what additional support may be needed. Consider each student on a case-by-case basis. While you may have multiple students who complete Core5 at the same time, individual needs will differ.
- Review and interpret data from myLexia such as the Student Skills Report in conjunction with additional data sources like classroom performance or outside assessments. If there are activities from previous levels that are completed with low accuracy and slow rate, consider providing the Lexia Lesson(s) associated with that activity and/or reassigning the Skill Builders for that activity.
- If multiple data points suggest that a particular student still needs additional practice with the content in Core5, it is possible to re-assign the student to the Auto Placement to allow them to re-enter the program. It is important to note that all records of the student's previous work will be deleted if Auto Placement is used a second time. In this situation, it is also recommended that you prepare students so they understand that they may see some familiar content.
- Every student benefits from additional practice. Lexia provides a number of additional resources including Supplemental Comprehension Lessons and full-text passages for additional fluency and comprehension work with connected text. See the Resources tab of myLexia.com for these materials.
- Identify and recommend books for students to read independently.
- When students finish Level 18, they will have read passages with Lexile levels up 1000L. You can use this as a guide for choosing the most appropriate selections.
- Print certificates, including the Core5 Completion Certificate, to celebrate each student's accomplishments. Be sure to send the certificates home; encourage parents to use the additional ideas for reinforcement found on certification and ask their children to talk about what skills they have gained which are outlined on certificates.
