Lexia Learning Systems, Inc. is one of the best-known and highly respected reading software companies in the world. Headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts, Lexia was founded over 20 years ago with private funding and grants obtained from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The development of the highest quality reading software to support students’ reading skills acquisition and proficiency at all levels of ability, pre-K through grade 12, is what drives every Lexia product.

Lexia’s Educational Software

Currently, Lexia’s educational software is used by school systems throughout the world. The interactive software is helping students learn to read and increase academic performance in over 10,000 settings including elementary, middle and secondary schools, pre-school and day care centers, special education programs, home schools, correctional institutions, adult learning centers and second language centers.

Research-Based

All of Lexia’s products follow the proven approach recommended by the National Reading Panel, Reading First, and leading experts. Students learn skills in sequence, logically building an understanding, while gaining competency and preparing for the next skill. Computerized diagnostic assessments screen for at-risk students. Reports diagnose a student’s skill level and identify areas where practice or instruction is needed for an individual or for a whole class, school, or district. This data helps teachers and administrators monitor their students’ progress.

All of Lexia’s products are designed according to the latest scientific findings in education and interface design, and are tested for outcomes in schools. Lexia has self-funded much of its own research and maintains a substantial national database of student performance data. Additional research funding from state and Federal agencies has included the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Proven Results

Outcome studies evaluating Lexia products have shown their effectiveness with multi-ethnic populations in Texas, Massachusetts, Utah, Connecticut, and the United Kingdom. The use of Lexia assessments and reading skills development software supported achievement gains by study groups that proved to be significantly superior to those achieved by control groups receiving equal amounts of traditional instruction and practice.
