Literacy Acceleration for Students in Grades 6-12
Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® accelerates literacy gains for students in grades 6–12 who are at risk of not meeting College- and Career-Ready Standards. Rooted in the science of reading and proven to be up to five times as effective as the average middle school reading intervention, PowerUp enables students to make multiple years of growth in a single academic year.
Unlock Academic Potential
Students in grades 6–12 are expected to have made the leap from learning to read to reading to learn. However, for decades, assessments such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) have shown there is a large opportunity gap, with only about one-third of eighth-grade students reading at or above the proficient level. With the majority of secondary curriculum presented through reading, many students are at risk of not reaching their full academic potential.
PowerUp can help. With more than 40 years' experience delivering science of reading-based solutions, Lexia’s literacy experts designed PowerUp to maximize student learning through a truly personalized experience that addresses individual skill gaps and impacts reading proficiency and academic success. This targeted approach allows each student to make literacy gains quickly and develop the reading and critical thinking skills necessary to meet the demands of secondary curriculum and beyond.
