Evaluate Progress and Growth Over Time

Evaluate actual student progress over time with a Growth Report that tracks skill development and long-term instructional impact across multiple benchmark windows and school years. ReadBasix keeps your growth data clean and accurate by only including students who completed assessments in every selected period, eliminating the statistical noise of shifting student enrollment. When you are ready to share your findings, simply export the formatted multi-period scores to Excel by grade or school, or generate a master sheet to upload straight to your data warehouse.

Don't wait until spring to find out if your students are on track. The Proficiency Report leverages Lexile® data to project the probability of students meeting proficiency on specific state assessments. Additionally, ReadBasix automatically omits rushed test scores, ensuring your final projections are built entirely on trustworthy data.

Track Long-Term Literacy History in One Place

Perfect for IEP meetings, 504 plans and parent conferences, the Report History allows you to view a student's complete testing history at a glance, organized from most recent to oldest. Toggle between scale scores, percentiles, and grade equivalents to prepare for your next parent conference or data meeting. Export the exact data you need into a customized spreadsheet with a single click.

Dynamic Filtering: Cross Reference in One Click

Build the exact student groupings your team is asking about. Layer custom rules combining reading results, SIS student demographics, and accommodations. With ReadBasix, set your rules once, and the entire platform dynamically updates. Every screen, report, and export instantly reshapes itself around the exact cohort of students you are analyzing.

From Data to Action: The Key Metrics

Every metric inside ReadBasix is designed to give you instant clarity, pointing directly to where comprehension is breaking down and which foundational skills to prioritize next.

  • Scale score

    Measure true literacy growth. Vertically scaled across grades 3–12, this absolute score remains consistent year-round so you can reliably track progress over time. Results fall into four clear performance bands (Weak, Low Average, High Average, and Strong) to easily guide teams and teachers to adjust the level of instructional support for individuals, small groups, and Tier I implications.

  • MTSS recommendation

    ReadBasix eliminates the guesswork of MTSS planning by sorting each student into a targeted foundational skill group. These skill groups provide educators with an immediate roadmap for targeted interventions in phonics through comprehension to ensure academic success. These groups indicate students who require intensive intervention, moderate support, or no intervention at all.

  • Percentile & RTI tier

    Identify Tier 2 and Tier 3 needs with nationally normed precision. ReadBasix compares each student to same-grade peers nationwide at the exact time of testing. By default, these percentiles map to standard RTI recommendations: Tier 1 (above 25th percentile), Tier 2 (11th–25th percentile), and Tier 3 (10th percentile and below). Districts have the flexibility to customize these cutoff thresholds to align with local guidelines.

  • Lexile® reading measure

    Go beyond book matching. ReadBasix delivers a nationally recognized, objective baseline of a student's reading ability by generating certified Lexile measures by analyzing sentence processing, reading efficiency and basic comprehension. Use it to provide a clear metric to monitor progress, set meaningful growth goals, differentiate classroom instruction, and highlight each student's optimal reading range for independent success.

  • Grade-equivalent score

    A high-level metric for cohort-wide insights. This score compares a student's typical performance to a national norming group. ReadBasix's GE metric is best utilized by administrators and literacy specialists to track high-level growth trajectories, systemic intervention needs, and flag adolescent readers who may require immediate, targeted intervention.

  • Inefficient decoder flag

    Identify the root cause of reading struggles. ReadBasix automatically triggers this flag by analyzing patterns in a student's Word Recognition and Reading Efficiency subtests. When a student spends excessive mental energy sounding out words, it bottlenecks their comprehension. This flag alerts you that the student needs immediate, targeted intervention in decoding automaticity and word-recognition strategies to unlock their true reading potential.

FAQ

Yes, absolutely. ReadBasix features a powerful, unified filtering engine that lets you cross-reference academic performance with student demographic data in a single rule set. You can build custom filters that combine:

  • ReadBasix Test Results: MTSS tiers, scale scores or performance bands, Lexile® measures, decoding indicators, and assessment completion status.
  • SIS Student Demographics: Grade levels, multilingual/ELL status, IEP status, economic indicators (e.g., free/reduced lunch status), and more.
  • Testing Accommodations: Filter by specific student accommodations to ensure equity and track compliance.

Save your complex filter rule set and instantly reapply it at each benchmark period throughout the school year.

This report bridges the gap between assessment and action. It doesn't just tell you who is struggling; it instantly tells you how to group them for targeted support. It provides interventionists, specialists, and grade-level teams with a single, clear report to coordinate resources, align schedules, and deliver targeted instruction where it is needed most. The MTSS Group report automatically organizes students into instructional action groups based on their specific diagnostic needs based on subtest results.

Yes, you have complete control over your data. Export the Performance Overview or Score Growth reports as spreadsheets, complete with a wide selection of customizable data columns for easy sorting and filtering. Or generate clean, presentation-ready PDFs of the MTSS Group report or the parent-friendly Home Report. You are never locked into a one-size-fits-all export. ReadBasix allows you to export the latest results, all historical data, a specific date range, a single benchmark assessment, or just a single student's profile.

Traditional reports often skew growth data by averaging different groups of students at each benchmark (e.g., comparing 100 students in Fall to 85 in Winter). ReadBasix eliminates this statistical noise, ensuring your growth data represents actual instructional impact. If a student misses even one testing window, they are automatically excluded from that longitudinal cohort analysis.

ReadBasix protects your data integrity with automatic, real-time "Score Reliability" Flags.

We know that instructional decisions are only as good as the data behind them. To prevent rushed test attempts or stale data from skewing your MTSS plans, ReadBasix constantly monitors score quality and alerts you to anomalies. When a student rushes through an assessment, their score is flagged with a visible underline; hovering over it instantly alerts teachers that the result may not reflect the student's true ability. Similarly, outdated scores are flagged to ensure educators are always looking at an accurate representation of current skills. While the default threshold for an outdated score is 90 days, district administrators can easily customize this timeline to align perfectly with local assessment calendars.

Yes. ReadBasix is built for flexibility. A student's Latest Report automatically consolidates the most recent results for each of the six reading subtests, regardless of when, or by whom, they were administered. This allows for flexible scheduling, enabling you to assess students in short, manageable chunks over multiple days rather than requiring them to sit through all subtests at once. It also supports collaboration: subtests can be administered separately by different educators, such as: a classroom teacher, a reading specialist, or an interventionist, and still merge effortlessly into a single profile. With no manual tracking required, ReadBasix automatically pulls these scattered data points together behind the scenes, ensuring you always have a complete, unified diagnostic picture.
