Lexia Core5 Reading
Lexia® Core5® Reading is an adaptive blended learning program that accelerates the development of literacy skills for students of all abilities, helping them make that critical shift from learning to read to reading to learn. Elementary school years are a pivotal time for reading development, as they create a foundation for learning across all subject areas. Yet, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), year after year, roughly 60% of American fourth-graders are not reaching reading proficiency. For these children, literacy will continue to present a steeper uphill climb in the absence of targeted instruction and intervention. Core5 was developed with a mission to mitigate that gap. Built on structured literacy, Core5 is intended to help provide equitable learning opportunities for all students, as well as to transform student learning for success and well-being. We enable educators to provide differentiated literacy instruction for students.
