Achieve3000: An Early Literacy Program to Differentiate Non-Fiction Reading Passages Based on Individual Students' Lexile Scores

Achieve3000 is an early literacy program that differentiates non-fiction reading passages based on individual students' Lexile scores. The program is intended to target elementary school students' literacy skills. Achieve3000 includes six separate computer-based applications that administer an assessment to establish a baseline Lexile level and then provide non-fiction adaptive reading passages aligned to each student's Lexile level. The program's theory of action is that students will become college and career ready if they are able to read non-fiction texts at Lexile levels that exceed 1,350. To develop and implement Achieve3000, students are required to use the program for at least 30 minutes, twice weekly, and follow a five-step procedure that includes taking a poll, reading a non-fiction article, completing multiple-choice questions, voting in a post-reading poll, and answering a 'Thought Question.'

Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) and Social Cognitive Model (SCM) interventions

Two types of self-regulatory instruction programs, the Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) model and the Social Cognitive Model (SCM), were used to address writing difficulties in students with learning disabilities (LD). The SRSD model involves six stages: developing and activating background knowledge, discussing strategy goals and significance, modeling the strategy, memorizing the strategy, collaboratively practicing the strategy, and independently performing the strategy. The SCM model involves four sequential levels: observation, emulation, self-control, and self-regulation. Both programs aim to improve writing skills by teaching cognitive and self-regulatory strategies.
