From Access to Mastery: How Lexia Supports Competency-Based Education

Using Lexia to Grow and Demonstrate Competency

Competency-based education (CBE) is gaining momentum as school and district leaders across the country seek more effective, equitable ways to support student growth. However, while the goal is clear, ensuring that every student builds essential skills, making that growth visible across diverse learners remains a challenge.

Many systems rely on inconsistent assessments, static pacing guides, or siloed programs that limit a full view of student progress. For school leaders tasked with closing gaps, demonstrating equity, and meeting accountability goals, this can be a major barrier.

Lexia® helps remove those barriers. By combining research-based instruction, adaptive learning paths, and embedded assessment, Lexia provides a reliable way to track literacy growth and verify skills mastery. It gives teachers the tools to meet students where they are, and it gives administrators the clarity they need to lead with confidence.

This guide explores how Lexia® Core5® Reading, Lexia® PowerUp Literacy®, and Lexia English Language Development™ support the goals of CBE, offering a concrete, scalable way to grow and measure student literacy. From real-time dashboards to standards-aligned skill maps, each program is designed to reinforce what matters most: meaningful progress you can see and support.
