Helping to Transform Literacy in Maryland

“The Lexia program is working great; the teachers and the students are very much engaged with the program. We are very fortunate to have the program as the state of Maryland has changed their requirements for providing accommodations for students with special needs. In order to get the accommodation for a reader at this time the student has to be engaged in a research-based reading program, Lexia meets that criteria! We are so pleased that we do not need to scramble to support our students.”
Teri Williamson, Principal, Fountaindale Elementary School for the Arts and Academic Excellence

Solutions for Every Maryland Literacy Learner

Lexia’s curriculum and professional learning solutions are grounded in the science of reading and designed to equitably meet the needs of all Maryland students along with the educators who support them. Our literacy programs provide evidence-based, systematic, personalized learning on critical reading and language skills to accelerate development and provide data-driven plans to differentiate instruction for each student.

The Maryland Blueprint and Maryland Leads Initiative recognize the importance of the science of reading to help students of any skill level be successful in grades K–12 and prepare them to be college and career ready. Maryland students already have made significant progress with Lexia® Core5® Reading with those working below grade level reduced from 39% to 9%.

Pillar 4 of the Maryland Blue strengthens the wrap-around services and funding necessary to support Maryland’s more than 98,000 English Language and struggling learners. WIDA has recognized Lexia’s products and is currently helping English Language Learners close the academic gap.

Lexia® is singularly focused on literacy with a full spectrum of solutions to support all types of learners.
