New Report on Lexia Core5 Reading Finds Percentage of K-3 Students Reading at or Above Grade Level Nearly Doubles After Seven...
15 April 2020 - 11:00PM
After just seven months of using Lexia Learning’s Lexia®
Core5® Reading (Core5) program, 3,250 K-3 students in 10
elementary schools throughout the state of Utah have made
significant literacy gains. The elementary schools highlighted
in a recently released report are exemplar schools using
the Early Interactive Software Program grant offered through the
Utah State Board of Education, and their students have been
consistently using Core5 since August 2019.
In an earlier research report on a large
Utah school district, researchers had also observed that in
addition to impressive progress within the program during the
2018-2019 school year, students’ performance in Core5 aligned with
their end-of-year scores on the Acadience Reading assessment.
Nearly all of the students (94%) who ended the school year working
on material above their grade level in Core5 also scored in the At
or Above Benchmark ranges on Acadience Reading.
Developed by Lexia
Learning, a Rosetta Stone (NYSE: RST) company, Core5 provides
a systematic and structured approach to six critical areas of
reading. The research-proven program creates personalized learning
paths for students of all abilities in grades pre-K–5 through an
adaptive placement and scaffolded activities that align to rigorous
standards. Core5 is one of only four programs named by the
Utah State Board of Education (USBE) as an approved provider of
early interactive reading software on the state-funded list, and it
is the only program approved for site-wide use with implementation
support services and professional learning included.
“Lexia has provided us with a way to easily group
students with similar skill needs, deliver effective explicit
teaching in those areas, and increase students’ abilities to get
feedback on progress from both the computer and the teacher,”
said John Emett, principal of Sage Hills Elementary,
Utah. “We are confident this will make a huge impact on our
literacy outcomes.”
In addition to ensuring ease of use, Lexia is
consistently delivering impressive literacy results with Core5. In
the 10 exemplar schools, the percentage of students working in or
above grade level almost doubled, increasing from 46% at the
beginning of the fall to 90% by the middle of March 2020. The
proportion of students working below grade level decreased
substantially, from 54% to 10% in just over half of a school
year.
