Bridging Language Gaps: Real-Time Data and the Science of Reading in Action

In this video, a Virginia educator shares how Lexia® Core5® Reading and Lexia® LETRS® Professional Learning have equipped teachers to meet the unique needs of all students, including English Language Learners, while building their own confidence and expertise in literacy instruction.

Core5 provides teachers with personalized, systematic tools to support students at varying ability levels. The program’s real-time data helps educators identify specific gaps and successes, enabling them to deliver tailored instruction that builds foundational reading skills step-by-step. 

Core5 aligns with Scarborough’s Reading Rope model, connecting word recognition and language comprehension to strengthen students’ overall reading abilities. Teachers value Core5’s explicit, hands-on lessons, which are easy to implement and designed to address the challenges students face when learning English.

LETRS complements Core5 by offering professional learning that empowers educators to teach the science of reading effectively. With videos, guided practice, and in-depth resources, LETRS helps teachers connect research to actionable strategies for teaching diverse learners. It equips educators with the knowledge to provide explicit, sequential instruction that supports language development alongside literacy growth.

This video demonstrates how Lexia’s comprehensive solutions empower teachers to address the specific needs of all students, fostering measurable growth that persists. By combining Core5’s tools with LETRS professional learning, teachers can transform their classrooms and help every student become a confident, lifelong reader.
