Put Structured Literacy to Work in Colorado’s Classrooms

Structured Literacy is an approach to teaching oral and written language based on the science of how children learn to read. In a Structured Literacy program, reading skills are taught in a logical order that is beneficial for all students, especially those who are struggling. It’s important to understand the difference between the science of reading and Structured Literacy. The science of reading helps us understand how we acquire knowledge; Structured Literacy helps us turn that understanding into effective instruction. Teaching children how to read requires a deep understanding of the science behind how the brain learns to read and how skills like phonemic awareness and spelling contribute to comprehension.

Struggling readers need evidence-based literacy solutions to help them read effectively. Lexia® resources put data-based Structured Literacy into action while aligning with Colorado Academic Standards in Reading, Writing and Communicating. By implementing the components, principles, and instructional practice that align to both the science of reading and Structured Literacy, administrators, teachers, and parents are assured all students will receive the multifaceted literacy instruction they need for reading and academic success.

Instructional tools, such as Lexia® Core5® Reading, based on the science of reading and Structured Literacy can help students comprehend and apply literacy skills.
