The American Rescue Plan Act (ARP ESSER III) provides $122.7 billion in supplemental funding for schools and districts that will expire in fall 2024. School leaders are trying to ensure they don’t leave money on the table, exploring how they can best use ESSER relief funding based on the needs of their district and school. With multiple avenues of funding available, there is always an opportunity to help students accelerate literacy gains. Here is how Lexia® can help.

Proven To Accelerate Learning
All of Lexia’s products from Lexia® Core5® Reading to Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® and Lexia® English Language Development® can help districts address short-term, interrupted learning and accelerate learning well beyond the pandemic. In a national study of more than 12,000 students conducted during disruptions in the 2019-2020 school year, Core5 helped prevent learning loss and accelerated reading growth for all pre-K–5 students during the pandemic. In fact, 80% of students using Core5 did not experience learning loss. Forty percent of students actually accelerated their learning, surpassing their projected NWEA MAP® GrowthTM goals.
Lexia Supports Equitable Instruction
Lexia’s literacy and language programs are research-proven, adaptive blended learning solutions that accelerate language and reading skills development and provide teachers with data-driven action plans to help differentiate instruction for each student, and address unfinished learning. More than 20 externally reviewed research studies prove Lexia helps all students learn regardless of race/ethnicity, socio-economic, Emergent Bilingual, or special education status. Core5, PowerUp Literacy, and Lexia English can be funded through ARP ESSER and meet the eligibility criteria for equitable instruction, accelerated learning, and effectiveness.
