Every Child. Every Day. No Matter What It Takes.
Core5 supports student agency and growth mindset, giving students a choice over their path and pace through the program, along with awareness and ownership of performance and progress. The program provides an environment of encouragement with an understanding that learning is ongoing and provides students with a safe place to try, fail, and retry.
Independent study confirms Core5's effect on accelerating reading
RAND Corporation recently evaluated Core5’s effect on accelerating reading gains post pandemic with school closings in a new study, “Students Using Lexia Core5 Reading Show Greater Reading Gains Than Matched Comparison Students."
RAND found:
- Core5 can substantially serve students from pre-K–5 grades, more than other curricula or competing literacy products.
- Core5 can make up pandemic learning loss experienced by students more than other curricula or competing literacy products.
- Black and Hispanic students who used Core5 experienced larger reading achievement gains than similar students who did not use the program.
- The more students used Core5, the faster they were able to make up for the academic effects of the pandemic.
- Students in grades 3–5 who used Core5 experienced higher literacy gains than students who used other curricula or competing literacy products.
