About Lexia PowerUp Literacy
Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® accelerates literacy gains for students in grades 6–12 who are at risk of not meeting College- and Career-Ready Standards. Proven to be up to five times as effective as the average middle school reading intervention, PowerUp enables students to make multiple years of growth in a single academic year. Students in grades 6–12 are expected to have already made the leap from learning to read to reading to learn. However, for decades, assessments such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) have shown that there is a large opportunity gap, with only about a third of eighth-grade students reading at or above a proficient level. With the majority of secondary curriculum presented through reading, many students are at risk of not reaching their full academic potential. PowerUp can help, with over 30 years' experience delivering effective Structured Literacy programs, Lexia’s literacy experts designed PowerUp to maximize student learning.

"Lexia is a waste of money for administrators" Posted 2022-05-19
Pros: The videos were decent. They explained what the topic was, and some videos were surprisingly well made. There is visible room for improvement but that is the least of my concern.
Cons: Aesthetic-wise: Lexia's websites layout looks straight out of 2012. Not to mention the art style for units look horrible, I wish they could do something cute with animals or at least something more decent-looking if they are going for the realistic art style. The theme colors are blue, green, yellow, and orange which does not sit right with me, the palette does not match at all and is one of the least aesthetically pleasing programs I have ever seen.
Technical-wise: The questions are impossible if you do not have access to headphones. I have to guess most of the time because the videos do not provide instructions, just the meaning of the topic. In addition to this, you have to have an abundant level of patience to complete any single unit. (If you are a user without headphones, this will happen:) After clicking an answer, you have to wait an average of 10 seconds in aggravating silence before you can get to the next question. During this time, it explains the instructions only audibly for the next question, so sometimes it takes longer than 10 seconds. I entreat Lexia to place instructions at the top of the question, instead of an audible disarray that makes users ferociously click their keyboards. Furthermore, many questions are set up ambiguously and do not explain what you got wrong (unless again, you have headphones.) I have found the unit restarts sometimes if I answer one or two questions incorrectly, but other times I just lose my answer streak. Not to mention that you loose your progress if you forget to log out, instead of just closing the tab.The program is a discombobulating experience.Overall: Overall I do not recommend Lexia for administrators or students; please look for a better program worth your money. I politely prithee and beseech the Lexia PowerUp company to take criticism and update their musty, old-school, not modernly-adjusted, non-aesthetically pleasing layout, features, and art.
