Ensure that every student has the tools, support, and confidence to succeed in reading and beyond.
Behind every literacy statistic is a student with unique strengths, challenges, and dreams.
Lexia® Core5® Reading helps administrators turn mandates into opportunities by:
Providing teachers with the resources they need
Giving students engaging, personalized reading instruction
Building foundational skills for lifelong success
In a RAND study of grades 3–5 across 25 southeastern schools, Core5 students outpaced similar peers nationwide on NWEA’s MAP Growth Reading assessment, proving the program accelerates learning.
Faced with a one-size-fits-all literacy program that left too many students behind, charter school principal Alexandra Prieto sought a better way. What she found transformed teaching for her staff and reading for her students.
Schools consistently using Core5 saw an average 1.5-point boost on the FAST assessment, with grade 5 students outperforming their peers who did not use Core5 by three points. This infographic highlights how targeted, technology-based reading support drives real ELA gains, even in historically underperforming schools.
Lexia Core5 is a Florida-approved, research-proven program that is built on the science of reading. It is an adaptive blended learning program for students in grades K-5 that accelerates the development of literacy skills for students of all abilities, helping them make the critical shift from learning to read to reading to learn.
“Core5 delivers rigorous instruction at the appropriate level for each student to help build phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension skills. In addition, the program offers teachers scripted lessons for students who struggle and reinforcement activities for students to practice newly acquired skills.”

“I’m a believer in this program because, bottom line, Core5 is changing students’ lives.”

“When we started using Core5, we immediately saw how effective it was. We found ourselves saying, 'Oh, wow, this is so different—this program really works!'”
Alexandra Prieto, Principal, Broward County Public Charter Schools
“Core5 helps teachers target specific areas in literacy in which our students need guidance. The progress-monitoring data serves as a powerful tool to communicate with not only students, but with teachers and parents as well.”
