Equity in Action: Strengthening Early Literacy in Denver Schools

Denver’s educational leaders are navigating a complex literacy landscape. READ Act accountability, wide skill variability in every classroom, and a student population where nearly one in three learners is multilingual all shape instructional decisions. Achieving equitable early literacy outcomes requires science of reading-aligned solutions that are proven to help every learner thrive.

If you’re looking for practical ways to strengthen literacy skills across all student subgroups, Lexia® Core5® Reading is the answer.

This infographic offers a clear, research-based overview of Core5, an adaptive blended literacy program that provides explicit, systematic instruction in foundational reading skills while delivering real-time progress data to educators. Core5 is supported by 62 studies, including six that meet ESSA Tier 1 Strong evidence criteria.

Consider one particularly relevant example: Research shows that Core5 drives measurable gains across diverse populations, achieving four times the reading gains for multilingual students in just eight weeks.
