More Speaking Practice in English Builds Linguistic Confidence in a California District
Educator Yadhira Rojas was tasked with evaluating whether her district's English language program was supporting the needs of its Emergent Bilingual students. She realized their program didn't provide enough opportunities for the students to speak English. She implemented Lexia® English and saw incredible improvement.
“I’ve never seen a program that emphasizes speaking as much—the way that we speak and the way that we use language to respond. It really makes [Lexia English] different.”
