Why So Many Articles?

• Achieve 3000 is trying to get students to complete 2 articles a week to show growth.

• To do that, they have populated your page with many, many articles that may have nothing to do with what you are doing.

• To remove their articles, follow this path:

  • https://portal.achieve3000.com/

  • "Lesson Planning"

  • "Collection Building"

  • Now, unassign all the collections and wait about 5 minutes.  They should all be removed.

Best Practices

• I would spend most of your time on the articles marked "5-Step Lesson"

• You need to model how to complete a 5 step lesson as your first use of A3K after the Level Set.

• I tell them to put effort into each part because A3K's 5 step lessons model good reading:

  • Lecture: teach the skill they will be using.

  • Preview the writing section and provide word banks and writing starters/stems.

  • Ready: preview the material.

  • Read: use vocabulary and highlight important things related to the writing prompt.

  • Respond: Get better than 80%

  • Reflect: solidify your knowledge by reflecting

  • Write: complete all parts of the prompt and do not cheat or use AI, it is obvious.

• Encourage students to discuss the article after reading.

Grading?

• Achieve 3000 grading is clunky.

  • Click your name.

  • Click "Reports"

  • Click "Student Work"

  • I use "My Lessons", "Respond" (multiple choice), and "Write".  I don't grade the other sections.

• I use a tracker to grade.  See figure 2.

  • "No Score" is suspected AI.....AI is a problem in A3K.

Remedial Specific A3K

Fluency: https://cdn.achieve3000.com/assets/content/docs/KB/f/FLUENCY_GUIDE.pdf 

• They have articles for you to use for running records.

There are also Phonics lessons and reading strategy lessons under a subcategory called "Word Studio".  See the "Phonics and Word Study Lessons" and "Comprehension Lessons" for their names.  See figure 3.

Adelina Blood used the Word Studio lessons as a "decodable".  A decodable is a lesson that contains a specific phoneme more than others to help students practice.  The articles are leveled for students from the Level Set, which is nice to hold interest and build reading skills.
