User-Friendly Literacy and Language = Results
At Valley View Leadership Academy in South Phoenix, educators were looking for a more effective and user-friendly approach to literacy and language development—especially for their many multilingual learners. With a diverse student body and a need for tools that are engaging, easy to use, and instructionally sound, school leaders turned to Lexia® Core5® Reading and Lexia English Language Development™. During the 2022 school year, elementary English Language Learners (ELLs) at Valley View and across the district used Lexia English and Core5 with impressive results.
In just one year, 87% of K–5 students advanced at least one grade level in Core5, while 19% of English Learners moved up one or more proficiency bands in Lexia English. Most notably, Valley View’s English learner reclassification rate almost doubled the state average. Students were excited. Teachers felt supported. And school leaders saw the kind of sustainable growth they’d been striving for.
