Analysis of results with updated and improved analysis model.
Recently, our research and development team made two important breakthroughs that enhance our ability to accurately map pupil's Reading Ability.
- Mapping Pupil Reading Ability. Previously, Lexplore analysed and presented Fluency and Language Comprehension separately. In February we launched an updated analysis model allowing these two components to be analysed and presented together. Combined this way, they determine percentile.
- Beginning in the fall of 2020, we were able to include data from students in grade 1 (UK 2), giving us a more extensive foundation for analysis. As such, we are able to provide a more precise and exact presentation of the percentile. Read more: Distribution of percentiles
