Student Results
Growth you can read in a number.
Every result below is measured — not estimated, not felt. Lexile scores before and after the ELA Program. Real students. Real data. Names withheld by design.
187points
average Lexile gain across all students
1.2grade levels
average growth in 16 weeks
94%
of students improved at least one full grade level
How we measure.
Before the first session, every student receives a Lexile baseline assessment and a 6+1 Trait writing snapshot. At week 8 we check trajectory. At week 16 we remeasure. The difference is the result.
Long-Arc Proof
What 16-week cycles compound into.
A Canadian student started DODO at age 10. Three years later, at age 13, they sat the SSAT.

SSAT Writing
Per-cycle Lexile and 6+1 Trait deltas (below) are the proximate measure. SSAT percentiles are what those deltas compound into across three years of consistent enrollment.
+200 Lexile points — approximately one grade level of reading growth
Grade 6 — arrived in Canada 14 months prior
She started raising her hand in class around week ten. By the end she was the one asking the teacher follow-up questions.
Parent
+220 Lexile points — approximately one grade level of reading growth
Grade 7 — preparing for Canadian secondary school entry
I can actually argue a point now. Not just in English — I think differently.
Student
+180 Lexile points — approximately one grade level of reading growth
Grade 5 — family relocating to Vancouver from Shanghai
+200 Lexile points — approximately one grade level of reading growth
Grade 8 — targeting top-tier US university pathway
The Navigator did not fix my writing. They changed how I read. The writing fixed itself.
Student
+190 Lexile points — approximately one grade level of reading growth
Grade 6 — bilingual household, Mandarin dominant
We chose DODO because we wanted the Lexile data. The confidence was the part we did not expect.
Parent
+210 Lexile points — approximately one grade level of reading growth
Grade 7 — Richmond BC, preparing for IB programme
6+1 Trait Writing Growth
Writing scores move because thinking moves.
The 6+1 Trait framework measures writing across seven dimensions — the same rubric used in Canadian and US classrooms. Entry and exit scores are assessed by the Navigator.
Why the numbers move
Lexile growth is a byproduct of cognitive training.
Students do not improve their Lexile score by practising Lexile tests. They improve by thinking more precisely — in both languages. The Loop is what causes the movement. The Loop is grounded in the MCT Language Arts tradition and Harvard Project Zero's Visible Thinking routines, delivered one-on-one by a Navigator with a degree from a world top-50 university.

The consultation is 20 minutes. A Navigator — not a sales call. We estimate where your child's reading sits, identify the gaps, and show you what the ELA Program looks like for a student exactly like yours.
