A Powerful Partnership: Lexia Aspire and PowerUp Drive Literacy Success in Secondary Schools

Many Texas districts have successfully invested in Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® to help secondary students reach their full academic potential. Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning builds on this success by equipping educators with the knowledge and strategies to weave literacy skills into every content area. By fostering teacher buy-in and a common understanding of the science of reading, Aspire enhances the effectiveness of PowerUp, ensuring students receive consistent, high-quality literacy instruction across all subjects.

Aspire offers a proactive approach to literacy. The professional learning courses not only align with the PowerUp scope and sequence but also empower teachers to provide effective, first-time instruction. HB1416 requires Texas students performing below grade level to receive 30 hours of additional support annually, which can be a struggle to track or incorporate into the school day. By incorporating literacy instruction into content-area classrooms, districts can minimize the number of students requiring supplemental instruction. 

District administrators seeking to improve literacy outcomes while reducing reliance on hourly tutors will find Aspire offers a practical, classroom-focused solution. By integrating Aspire with PowerUp, educators are better equipped to reinforce literacy skills, leading to accelerated student learning and growth. Together, Aspire and PowerUp provide the tools and support necessary to meet the literacy needs of all students, setting them on a path to academic success.
