What is Lexia Reading Core 5?

“Lexia Reading Core5 provides explicit, systematic, personalized learning in the six areas of reading instruction, and delivers norm-referenced performance data and analysis without interrupting the flow of instruction to administer a test. Designed specifically to meet the Common Core and the most rigorous state standards, this research-proven, technology-based approach accelerates reading skills development, predicts students’ year-end performance and provides teachers data-driven action plans to help differentiate instruction.” • Many other high-performing schools locally and statewide are using it. • Gives kids access to at-home practice:

• It’s very important that kids work through the program on their own!
