Effective Solutions for Dyslexia

Dyslexia affects as many as 1 in 5 students and represents 80% to 90% of all learning disabilities. However, dyslexia is often misunderstood; it’s not simply seeing letters or words backward—it’s a neurobiological condition that affects language processing. 

Administrators face ongoing challenges in addressing literacy gaps and are looking for better ways to identify and support students with dyslexia. The increasing focus on the science of reading and Structured Literacy solutions promises to close learning gaps for these students. Still, districts need the right tools and professional training to implement these instructional approaches effectively. 

Lexia provides professional learning programs and literacy solutions rooted in the science of reading. Each follows a systematic, cumulative, and explicit methodology that helps struggling students. 

• Professional learning solutions like Lexia® LETRS® Professional Learning and Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning help teachers better understand reading science and instruction—including phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and language—and how to apply them to support students with dyslexia.
