READING EXPERTISE
Founded more than 30 years ago with private funding and grants obtained from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Lexia Learning’s reading technology products are now used by more than two million students. As a Rosetta Stone® company, Lexia’s ongoing commitment to peer-reviewed efficacy research and gold-standard outcome studies are at the center of our pedagogical approach. Lexia Reading Core5®, the company’s award-winning, flagship product, has set the standard for technology-based reading instruction by providing explicit, systematic, personalized learning on fundamental literacy skills for students of all abilities.
LEXIA LEARNING AND FLORIDA CENTER FOR READING RESEARCH (FCRR)
With the launch of the RAPID Assessment, Lexia continues its promise to improve student literacy by leveraging technology to personalize learning and simplifying the use of data to drive instruction. RAPID is the result of Lexia’s ongoing partnership with researchers from the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR), a multidisciplinary research center at Florida State University that supports 17 federal research contracts and grants led by nine tenured and tenure-track faculty members. This partnership combines the resources and expertise of two of the most renowned innovators in education—the result being the creation of an assessment that breaks new ground in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. RAPID was developed to be computer-adaptive via an extensive research-based process, producing a more time-efficient assessment that helps teachers reclaim additional instructional time for teaching.

READING ASSESSMENT for PRESCRIPTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL DATA
The Lexia RAPID Assessment™ reliably measures the skills most predictive of reading success—word recognition, academic language, and reading comprehension—in a short amount of time.
Designed for group administration, grades 3–12, in the fall, winter, and spring, RAPID is a computer-adaptive screener and diagnostic tool that identifies and monitors reading and language skills to provide actionable, norm-referenced data for instructional planning.
MAXIMUM INFORMATION IN THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME
Rather than administer several lengthy assessments, RAPID provides an in-depth, reliable measurement of reading ability within the timeframe of a typical class period.
• Word Recognition – Measure how well students can synthesize the component skills of decoding and encoding to demonstrate effective word recognition ability.
• Vocabulary Knowledge – Measure students’ ability to apply morphological strategies for comprehending new vocabulary.
• Syntactic Knowledge – Measure sentence-level inferencing and use of connective words.
• Reading Comprehension – Measure students’ deep understanding of both narrative and informational text at their reading level based on their reading skill performance on the prior tasks.

RELIABLY MEASURE LONG-TERM GROWTH
Teachers and administrators can determine whether students have made progress in all four tasks assessed by RAPID.
• Longitudinally track personal skill development growth over a school year and across multiple years.
• Track the impact of instructional interventions and programs across a school or district (see Figure 3).
• Compare Ability Scores, at the student or class level, to the average performance of grade-level peers as well as other grade levels on the same task (see Figure 4).
Measure Growth
IDENTIFY INSTRUCTIONAL NEEDS QUICKLY SCREEN READING SKILLS TO DETERMINE INTENSITY OF INSTRUCTION
Critical reading and language tasks measured by RAPID provide fast, reliable, and adaptive measurement of reading ability.
The Reading Comprehension task provides a deep measure of a student’s understanding of narrative and informational text. Students are placed into a passage based on their performance in the Word Recognition, Vocabulary Knowledge and Syntactic Knowledge tasks. Together, the tasks provide a Reading Success Probability score.
• Reading Success Probability (RSP): provides educators with a prediction of future reading success on a standardized outcome measure. Each student receives an individual RSP score (see Figure 1) indicating the overall level of instructional intensity needed to reach grade level by the end of the school year.
• RAPID also provides administrators and teachers with an aggregate view showing how many students have a high probability of success (RSP of 70% or greater) and a view with the distribution of ability scores across a grade, school or district (see Figure 2).
Screener Diagnostic Tool
Figure 1
Figure 2
RTI/MTSS INTEGRATION
RAPID helps with RTI/MTSS in two ways: The RSP helps determine the level of instructional intensity a student will need to close the gap. Then, the diagnostic profile helps determine the focus of individual instruction and identifies students with similar profiles for small group instruction.
The RAPID Assessment provides a diagnostic profile for each student comprised of grade-based percentile ranks for all four tasks. Two students may require the same intensity of instruction, as indicated by the RSP of 43%, but the focus of that instruction can be quite different.
Teachers
The diagnostic profile provides connections to instructional strategies for the teacher and identifies students with similar profiles for small group instruction.

Administrators
RAPID’s school- and district-wide profiles can be used to assess the need for curriculum review or professional development for an administrator’s teachers and staff.

Latin Prefixes
Latin prefixes are word parts that come at the beginning of the word
and change the meaning, and occasionally the form, of a base word.
The ability to recognize Latin prefixes helps students understand
the structure and meaning of words (prefix, root/base word, suffix),
allows students to develop word identification strategies for
multisyllabic words, and serves as a foundation for understanding
the most common spelling rules.
Classroom Ideas
As necessary, teach or review the definition of a prefix. Teach
students to break down words with prefixes by displaying example
words (e.g., return) and then having students circle the prefix,
underline the rest of the word and read it, and then read the whole
word.
Say words that contain prefixes aloud. Ask students to repeat the
words first; then, have them say or write only the prefix that is
contained in the word. Provide visual references (such as prefix
words cards) as necessary.
Write a number of words that include Latin prefixes on cards (or
dictate them to students). Have students sort the words by prefix
and then read each word. If necessary, provide a limited number of
prefixes at a time.
Write a newly learned prefix (e.g., pre-) in the middle of a circle.
Ask students to generate as many words as they can that contain
the prefix (e.g., preview, preheat); add those words to the outside
of the circle. Then, assign students to their own prefixes and have
them repeat the exercise. Provide resource materials as needed.
Provide students with word cards that contain a variety of prefixes
(e.g, in-, mis-) and base words (e.g, take, lead). Challenge them to
combine the prefixes and base words to create as many real words
as possible. Ask students to record the words as they create them.

RELIABLY MEASURE LONG-TERM GROWTH
Teachers and administrators can determine whether students have made progress in all four tasks assessed by RAPID.
• Longitudinally track personal skill development growth over a school year and across multiple years.
• Track the impact of instructional interventions and programs across a school or district (see Figure 3).
• Compare Ability Scores, at the student or class level, to the average performance of grade-level peers as well as other grade levels on the same task (see Figure 4).
Measure Growth
IDENTIFY INSTRUCTIONAL NEEDS QUICKLY SCREEN READING SKILLS TO DETERMINE INTENSITY OF INSTRUCTION
Critical reading and language tasks measured by RAPID provide fast, reliable, and adaptive measurement of reading ability.
The Reading Comprehension task provides a deep measure of a student’s understanding of narrative and informational text. Students are placed into a passage based on their performance in the Word Recognition, Vocabulary Knowledge and Syntactic Knowledge tasks. Together, the tasks provide a Reading Success Probability score.
• Reading Success Probability (RSP): provides educators with a prediction of future reading success on a standardized outcome measure. Each student receives an individual RSP score (see Figure 1) indicating the overall level of instructional intensity needed to reach grade level by the end of the school year.
• RAPID also provides administrators and teachers with an aggregate view showing how many students have a high probability of success (RSP of 70% or greater) and a view with the distribution of ability scores across a grade, school or district (see Figure 2).
Screener Diagnostic Tool
Figure 1
Figure 2
RTI/MTSS INTEGRATION
RAPID helps with RTI/MTSS in two ways: The RSP helps determine the level of instructional intensity a student will need to close the gap. Then, the diagnostic profile helps determine the focus of individual instruction and identifies students with similar profiles for small group instruction.
The RAPID Assessment provides a diagnostic profile for each student comprised of grade-based percentile ranks for all four tasks. Two students may require the same intensity of instruction, as indicated by the RSP of 43%, but the focus of that instruction can be quite different.
Teachers
The diagnostic profile provides connections to instructional strategies for the teacher and identifies students with similar profiles for small group instruction.

Administrators
RAPID’s school- and district-wide profiles can be used to assess the need for curriculum review or professional development for an administrator’s teachers and staff.

Latin prefixes are word parts that come at the beginning of the word
and change the meaning, and occasionally the form, of a base word.
The ability to recognize Latin prefixes helps students understand
the structure and meaning of words (prefix, root/base word, suffix),
allows students to develop word identification strategies for
multisyllabic words, and serves as a foundation for understanding
the most common spelling rules.
Classroom Ideas
As necessary, teach or review the definition of a prefix. Teach
students to break down words with prefixes by displaying example
words (e.g., return) and then having students circle the prefix,
underline the rest of the word and read it, and then read the whole
word.
Say words that contain prefixes aloud. Ask students to repeat the
words first; then, have them say or write only the prefix that is
contained in the word. Provide visual references (such as prefix
words cards) as necessary.
Write a number of words that include Latin prefixes on cards (or
dictate them to students). Have students sort the words by prefix
and then read each word. If necessary, provide a limited number of
prefixes at a time.
Write a newly learned prefix (e.g., pre-) in the middle of a circle.
Ask students to generate as many words as they can that contain
the prefix (e.g., preview, preheat); add those words to the outside
of the circle. Then, assign students to their own prefixes and have
them repeat the exercise. Provide resource materials as needed.
Provide students with word cards that contain a variety of prefixes
(e.g, in-, mis-) and base words (e.g, take, lead). Challenge them to
combine the prefixes and base words to create as many real words
as possible. Ask students to record the words as they create them.

READING EXPERTISE
Founded more than 30 years ago with private funding and grants obtained from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Lexia Learning’s reading technology products are now used by more than two million students. As a Rosetta Stone® company, Lexia’s ongoing commitment to peer-reviewed efficacy research and gold-standard outcome studies are at the center of our pedagogical approach. Lexia Reading Core5®, the company’s award-winning, flagship product, has set the standard for technology-based reading instruction by providing explicit, systematic, personalized learning on fundamental literacy skills for students of all abilities.
LEXIA LEARNING AND FLORIDA CENTER FOR READING RESEARCH (FCRR)
With the launch of the RAPID Assessment, Lexia continues its promise to improve student literacy by leveraging technology to personalize learning and simplifying the use of data to drive instruction. RAPID is the result of Lexia’s ongoing partnership with researchers from the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR), a multidisciplinary research center at Florida State University that supports 17 federal research contracts and grants led by nine tenured and tenure-track faculty members. This partnership combines the resources and expertise of two of the most renowned innovators in education—the result being the creation of an assessment that breaks new ground in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. RAPID was developed to be computer-adaptive via an extensive research-based process, producing a more time-efficient assessment that helps teachers reclaim additional instructional time for teaching.

READING ASSESSMENT for PRESCRIPTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL DATA
The Lexia RAPID Assessment™ reliably measures the skills most predictive of reading success—word recognition, academic language, and reading comprehension—in a short amount of time.
Designed for group administration, grades 3–12, in the fall, winter, and spring, RAPID is a computer-adaptive screener and diagnostic tool that identifies and monitors reading and language skills to provide actionable, norm-referenced data for instructional planning.
MAXIMUM INFORMATION IN THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME
Rather than administer several lengthy assessments, RAPID provides an in-depth, reliable measurement of reading ability within the timeframe of a typical class period.
• Word Recognition – Measure how well students can synthesize the component skills of decoding and encoding to demonstrate effective word recognition ability.
• Vocabulary Knowledge – Measure students’ ability to apply morphological strategies for comprehending new vocabulary.
• Syntactic Knowledge – Measure sentence-level inferencing and use of connective words.
• Reading Comprehension – Measure students’ deep understanding of both narrative and informational text at their reading level based on their reading skill performance on the prior tasks.
