English Learners

Lexia Core5 Reading provides a personalized, systematic approach to reading instruction that adapts each task based on individual student performance. The three-step instructional model supports the diverse learning needs of English Learners through scaffolding with immediate corrective feedback and direct instruction as needed.

Students learning English can hear instructions in six native languages—Spanish, Mandarin, Haitian-Creole, Arabic , Vietnamese, and Portuguese—and school-to-home letters are also available in these languages to promote family engagement.
