Helping to improve literacy achievement in Michigan

“Knowing there's a strong correlation between M-STEP and Core5, we can rely on Lexia's progress monitoring data provided. For the first time, we had the ability to adjust our instruction based on real-time progress monitoring. If you want a program that will personalize learning for your students, individualize instruction and provide your teachers with the data to drive their instruction, then Lexia is a tool for you.”
Kathleen Quain, Principal, Morton Elementary School, Michigan
