Scantron Provides Teachers, Parents With an Assessment Tool for Improving Student Reading Ability

In the competitive testing and assessment world, schools and districts are constantly on the lookout for new solutions from developers of educational technology. In response, Scantron, an Irvine, CA-based data collection and assessment company, has linked The Lexile Framework for Reading to its popular Performance Series assessment solution.
Performance Series is a standards-based, computer-adaptive test that educators use as a diagnostic for student placement, and for progress reporting. By administering a reliable and valid standards-based test that adapts automatically to each student's individual level—and reports results instantaneously—educators gain clear snapshots of students' performance across a range of subjects. Immediate reporting saves teachers time and frustration, as individual students and classes can get started in the right direction the first week of school.
