Grant-Ready Literacy Solutions for Charters

On September 24, 2025, the federal government released $500 million of available investments through the Charter School Program. This represents a critical funding stream that will have a massive impact on instructional success. However, it can be overwhelming to navigate aligning instructional needs with what resources are available and how they are permitted to be used.

This checklist outlines clear and simple matches between your most pressing literary needs, what’s allowed, and the Lexia program best suited to meet your goals.
