Lexia English and the Science of Reading

Lexia English Language Development™ was designed to provide both receptive (listening) and expressive (speaking) instruction and practice for multilingual students. The program also offers embedded, explicit, scaffolded grammar instruction that enables users to have conversations about different subjects.

With Lexia English, students are provided with multiple opportunities to acquire and practice listening and speaking skills in a safe, nonjudgmental environment: Purposeful repetition and extensive speaking practice at the right level, along with listening practice, are at the core of the program.

This Lexia English guide details how the program applies science of reading principles to support English language acquisition for multilingual learners. By integrating explicit instruction in phonology, vocabulary, syntax, and oral language, Lexia English helps students build the linguistic foundations necessary for comprehension and expression. The guide explains how structured practice, scaffolded feedback, and intentional language routines mirror evidence-based reading instruction—ensuring students develop listening and speaking skills that directly support reading comprehension and academic success.
