Our Literacy Approach
When it's taught the right way, literacy is fully within reach of the vast majority of learners—both students and teachers. Across all our science of reading-based solutions and services, Lexia's approach is focused on proven methodology, engaging experiences, and continued acknowledgement of the value of each individual learner. By doing so, we're making literacy truly accessible for everyone we support.
Rigorous
Originally founded through a research grant, Lexia’s ongoing commitment to peer-reviewed efficacy research and gold-standard outcome studies is at the forefront of our industry, as well as the center of our pedagogical approach. We stand as one of the most rigorously researched and independently evaluated reading programs in the world, and our commitment to evidence-based, scientific research demonstrates the efficacy of our programs while guiding development of our products.
Our science of reading-based solutions are designed according to the latest scientific findings in education as well as recommendations from the National Reading Panel (NRP). The NRP was formed in 1997 at the request of Congress with the aim of assessing the effectiveness of different approaches to literacy instruction.
Lexia® programs are also proven to improve learning outcomes required by federal mandates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and our research portfolio meets the highest levels of evidence.
Personalized
Our solutions are centered around a personalized approach to learning, and are designed to give students more control over the time, place, path, and pace of their progress.
To some, the term “personalized learning” is simply the incorporation of technology. Lexia believes technology is a key component of personalized learning, but that it does not stand alone. Our approach combines effective, teacher-led instruction with interactive, user-centric experiences to support the cognitive abilities of a wide variety of students. With Lexia, teachers are able to prioritize and differentiate instruction, allowing students to develop critical reading skills at their own pace.
Structured and Systematic
Lexia’s digital curriculum solutions are founded upon Structured Literacy, the application of the science of reading into practical classroom instruction. Our structured, explicit, and systematic approach to literacy and language instruction builds upon prior learning in a sequential manner—from simple to complex—ultimately improving each teacher's ability to deliver critical literacy concepts, strengthening a student's relationship with learning, and transitioning ownership of learning to that student.
