Embedded Assessment Brochure

Assessment can provide valuable insight into student learning, but separate testing events can take time away from instruction. Lexia’s embedded assessment integrates ongoing data collection directly into curriculum programs, giving educators timely information about student progress while students continue learning. This approach can save educators up to a month of instructional time while supporting personalized, data-driven action plans and resources for individual students. 

Lexia® uses a three-part approach to embedded assessment. Personalized auto-placement helps students begin at an appropriate entry point based on their strengths and needs. Patented Assessment Without Testing® technology gathers real-time progress-monitoring data from students’ continuous interactions with instructional activities. Short, strategic skill checks provide additional performance data before students advance to new activities. Together, these components generate actionable information that is directly connected to instruction.

This approach helps educators address four key purposes of assessment: identifying which students are on track for reading success, monitoring progress, collecting detailed information about skill profiles and instructional needs, and assessing whether students have learned the taught material. Because assessment is aligned with instruction, educators can use the resulting data to make targeted, frequent adjustments as student needs evolve. 

Assessment Without Testing also helps educators identify student needs, predict future performance, prescribe instructional intensity, and connect real-time data with instructional resources and next steps. For students, personalized usage targets and adaptive recommendations help focus learning time where additional support is needed.

Explore how Lexia’s Embedded Assessment connects assessment, curriculum, and instruction to give educators detailed insight without requiring additional testing time. With actionable data built into the learning experience, teachers can respond more efficiently and deliver the right instruction at the right time.
