Improving Student Engagement

Students at a primary age level need to be engaged while learning, and their reading ability will be a critical part of their learning. With Lexia Core5, students are placed at a level suited to their abilities, which allows them to learn at a pace that is suitable to them, focussing on both the progress and performance of the student.

If a student is feeling defeated or struggling with a particular unit, Lexia Core5 has automatic branching that moves them to Guided Practice, which features fewer stimuli and more structure. If the student then continues to struggle, Lexia Core5 will move to Direct Instruction, which clearly teaches the student the skills needed to complete the task. If the student continues to struggle then issues will be flagged for teacher-led one-on-one or small-group instruction, that can then be provided through some of the provided Lexia Core5 teacher-led Lexia Lessons.

Helps Educators Identify Issues

Lexia Core5 gives teachers access to the data performance of each of their students’ reading skills. This data assists educators to gather key insights into any gaps or areas that may be difficult for the students in their class and identify where intervention or assistance may be needed. These reports can then filter into school reports, highlighting weaknesses in the literacy curriculum across the school.

Lexia Core5 data is provided in a real-time link between student performance in the program and data for their teachers – providing up to date insights on what students know, guidance on what they may need help with and specific resources to address those gaps.

Focuses on the 6 Areas of Reading Instruction

Lexia Reading Core5 gives students of all levels of reading a structured, chronological and scalable approach to the six areas of reading instruction:

• Phonological awareness
• Phonics
• Structural Analysis
• Automaticity/fluency
• Vocabulary
• Comprehension

The Lexia Core5 program allows for personalised learning paths to be created for each individual student through the adaptive placement and pacing of activities.

Research Proven

Lexia Core5 is a leader in developing the foundational reading skills for students, making it one of the most intensely researched, independently evaluated and widely respected and sought out reading programs in the world. Lexia Core5 is not only a research-based learning program, but it is research proven.

Over 20 independent studies published in peer-review journals has stated that Lexia Reading has sped up the development of critical and fundamental literacy skills of primary ages students between the levels of Pre-K to Year 6 students. Plus, with over 30 years in continual program development, software improvements and research development, Lexia’s research and approach to reading development stands well above its competitors.
