Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® for New Jersey Learning Standards for English Language Arts

Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® aligns to the levels of complexity and rigor of New Jersey’s Student Learning Standards for ELA. Through personalized, systematic instruction, PowerUp addresses the instructional needs of students by identifying gaps and providing support in three primary areas of instruction: Word Study, Grammar, and Comprehension. PowerUp students develop the necessary skills to be considered literate as outlined by the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for ELA.

It includes these curriculum requirements:

• Foundational skills
• High-quality and increasingly challenging literacy and informational texts
• Background knowledge and motivation
• Targeted and sustained intervention for struggling students
• Flexibility and easy to implement

Built on the science of reading, PowerUp addresses literacy skills aligned to College- and Career–Ready Standards for grades 6–8, while teaching the specific K–5 standards that are critical to building a foundation for grade-level proficiency. It supports culturally responsive learning environments and the needs of diverse learners.

The program saves New Jersey classroom teachers up to a month of instructional time with ongoing progress monitoring through the proprietary Assessment Without Testing® technology, without stopping the flow of instruction to administer a test. Teacher-led instructional offline materials, including Lexia Lessons®, Lexia Skill Builders®, and The Writing Prompt Pack, are available as well.
