Hear from a Peer: Strategies to Support Middle School Striving Readers in California

California administrators, watch, Hear from a Peer: Strategies to Support Middle School Striving Readers.

With only 30% of eighth grade students reading proficiently, California educators need instructional practices that equitably support the diverse needs of adolescent striving readers. Accelerate skills development for grades 6–12 striving readers with age-appropriate instruction tailored to each learner’s reading level with Lexia® PowerUp Literacy®. In this video, discover how PowerUp empowers educators with data and resources to differentiate instruction for adolescent striving readers.

In particular, PowerUp saves educators time. Once a teacher has checked the data, the program creates a scripted lesson for any students who have the potential to fall behind. Teachers no longer have to hunt around for a way to present the lesson which the data tells them they need to be giving.

Since data differentiates the variety of help students need, PowerUp shows the teacher which activities students need to be engaging in, such as more screen time or to work in a small group.

The only time students have to take an assessment is at the beginning. After that, every time a student uses the program, they are undergoing an assessment—they just don’t know it.
