Literacy Development and Acceleration For Florida Educators and Students

Lexia ® knows Florida educators are dedicated to ensuring every child is able to read at or above grade level. Lexia is committed to supporting the best practices necessary to ensure implementation of the B.E.S.T. ELA Standards and quality instruction that leads to student growth on the ELA FAST progress-monitoring assessment, even for our most striving learners.

An average of 60% of Florida students in third through 10th grades scored below a Level 3 on the FAST Progress Monitoring 2nd administration. According to The Nation’s Report Card, 41% of students in Florida are nearly five months or a half year delayed in their learning.

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 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.
