METRIC

Total Usernames Created	145,153
Users Logged In	129,786
Students with Power Challenge Completed	118,596

Of the 122 602 students who have created LightSail usernames, 111 768 students (77%) have logged at least two reading minutes on LightSail, and 10 816 students have user accounts, but have not logged any reading minutes on LightSail.
Of the 143 368 Licenses allocated, 122 602 students have created accounts, leaving 20 766 licenses available for additional students to use LightSail.

Region 9 has steadily increased in Minutes Read YTD over the course of the year. The slope of the line is much steeper between the months of October-November than December - February, indicating that after the lull in LightSail usage December due to testing and the holiday break, students and teachers used LightSail less frequently.
From March 1st - March 10th, the minutes read YTD amounted to 8,190 minutes. Thus far, students cumulatively read 194 more minutes in March (prior to Spring Break).

As students continue to read, we are looking for the average minutes to climb. On average, students have increased their reading minutes over the course of the year. Due to a strong start in the beginning of the year, the average minutes YTD at the end of February fell right below the expected average minutes on the trend line.
From March 1st - March 10th, the average minutes read YTD increased to 94 minutes per student.

METRIC
Average Lexile Growth YTD	110
# of Students with Lexile Update	84,943
% of Students with Lexile Update	76%

Since completing the Power Challenge, on average students have grown 110 Lexile points. However, only 76% of students had a Lexile update this cycle, which means that 23% of the students reading did not complete enough Power Clozes within the last 15 day cycle to get a Lexile Update.
In terms of Lexile to grade level achievement, 28,949 students (25.9%) have Lexile scores that are below grade level. 40,348 students (36.1%) are approaching grade level, 20,453 students (18.3%) are on grade level, and 22,018 students (19.7%) are above grade level.

On average, student Lexile growth has remained consistent around 110 Lexile points.
Based on analysis of the data, this dip is most likely due to students not reading Power Texts within their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), and students not logging enough reading minutes to increase their Lexile scores.

The majority of students (80,026 students, 71.6%) have made positive growth, 2700 students (2.4%) are without an update, 10.171 students (9.1%) are declining in Lexile scores, and 18,889 student (16.9%) is without growth.
Launch Lesson 2: Cloze Lesson will help address the 30% of students that are declining in Lexile scores or have no update by teaching students the importance of Power Texts, as well as strategies to answer Cloze questions.
