BOY LevelSet AssessmentIt's not too late! The LevelSet is still available for students that have not already taken it. The LevelSet assessment in Achieve3000 tests students' Lexile (reading) levels and sets their independent reading levels appropriately and adjusts monthly to monitor progress. For this reason, it's important for students to take the BOY LevelSet seriously. Prepare students with this handout and video (English and Spanish) prior to testing. The test can be scheduled for students in the teacher's LevelSet Scheduler via the hamburger menu.Teacher Log In Set-Up in Achieve3000When teachers first log in to Achieve3000, the platform will ask to verify the program. Choose BOOST. The Boost program enables the most support for students.
