Let’s take a closer look at the IXL LevelUp Diagnostic for ELA!
Flexible structure for precise insights
The IXL LevelUp Diagnostic for ELA in Benchmark mode offers unparalleled flexibility for evaluating student performance. With distinct Reading and Writing & Language scores, you’ll have the relevant data you need to make more effective decisions and provide targeted support.
Administrators can pinpoint PreK-12 students’ Reading levels with the default 1-hour Reading Benchmark. For a deeper layer of insight into ELA proficiency, administrators can also assign the additional 1-hour Writing & Language Benchmark to students in grades 2-12. When taken together, the full ELA Benchmark can be completed in 90 minutes, with a 2-hour limit.
Assessment data that makes a real impact
The LevelUp Diagnostic goes beyond simply delivering scores—it’s built to drive growth. As soon as students complete their assessments, IXL delivers clear next steps for every level of your district.
For administrators, the LevelUp Diagnostic Results report provides a breakdown of students who are above, on, below, or far below grade level. You can also filter and view student performance by strand, school, teacher, or student demographics to identify exactly where support is needed.
Plus, the Reading Benchmark flags students at risk of reading difficulties, such as dyslexia, so you can provide timely interventions.
Teachers and students will always know exactly how to move forward post-assessment. Immediately after the test, each student receives a personalized action plan with tailored skill recommendations from IXL’s curriculum.
Real-Time mode: Instructional insights for teachers
The LevelUp Diagnostic is more than a benchmarking tool: It also includes an ongoing diagnostic. Teachers can use Real-Time mode to refine students’ levels and personalized action plans in between scheduled Benchmark windows.
With just 10 minutes of assessment per week, teachers can get just-in-time data and adjust instruction as students grow.
