Students Using Lexia Core5 Reading Show Greater Reading Gains Than Comparison Students

During the 2021-2022 academic year, Rand Education and Labor evaluated Lexia® Core5® Reading (Core5) on reading achievement for grades 3–5 students across 25 elementary schools in the southeast United States.

Researchers found third grade students who started the year significantly below norms finished the year significantly above norms when using Core5. Additionally, Core5 students in all three grades made gains relative to pre-pandemic national norms, unlike the comparison group.
