Literacy Development and Acceleration For Georgia Educators and Students
Lexia® knows Georgia educators are dedicated to ensuring every child is able to read at or above grade level. Lexia® also supports the goals of the Georgia Department of Education by providing solutions that employ evidence-based instructional practices that support state-adopted standards. Also, through our professional learning solutions, we empower teachers to employ strategies for differentiated, innovative, and effective teaching and learning.
Lexia is committed to supporting the best practices necessary to ensure quality, science-based instruction that leads to student growth on the ELA Milestones assessment, even for our most striving learners.
Thirty-six percent of Georgia third-grade students are not reading at their grade level, according to the 2022 ELA Milestones assessment. Lexia is here to help.
When instruction is based on the science of reading, 95% of students can learn to read. Why? Because the science of reading incorporates decades of research into what is most effective in Structured Literacy instruction, including the exact skills that need to be taught and how to teach them to a wide range of learners, including teaching foundational phonics skills through decoding and encoding.
These efforts require a fresh look at professional development, evidence-based programs, and practices using explicit and systematic instructional strategies, adaptive literacy instruction, and intentional, individualized interventions grounded in the science of reading to ensure exceptional literacy outcomes for all students.
Empowering teachers to understand and apply the core principles of the science of reading transforms literacy instruction and accelerates student achievement.
"Teachers are the most important factor in student success. Informed teachers can explain language to students, including sounds, spellings, and word meanings. They use lessons based on reading science and understand the process of learning to read and write. Research proves it. Science matters."
Louisa Moats, Ed.D.
