Lexia® Core5® Texas Progress Report

Lexia® Core5® Reading (Core5) is an Adaptive Blended Learning program that accelerates the development of literacy skills for students of all abilities. The depth and breadth of Core5's scope and sequence supports both foundational and advanced literacy skills, while embedded assessment technology provides educators with real-time actionable data that helps answer relevant questions about student needs and abilities. 

In Core5, students complete activities that are organized into 21 levels covering pre-K through fifth grade skills. Completing skills with 90%–100% accuracy is required for students to advance to the next level. Students reach their end-of-year, grade-level benchmark when they complete all of the material up to and including the Core5 levels that correspond to their grade level. By allowing students to learn and practice skills at their own targeted place and pace, Core5 helps students make the critical shift from learning to read to reading to learn.

Students across Texas made remarkable progress with Core5. At the start of the school year, 40% of students using Core5 material with fidelity performed at or above grade level. By the end of the school year, that number increased to 82%. Additionally, students performing below grade level dropped from 60% to 18%. With Lexia®, 49% of Texas’ student population achieved grade-level benchmarks in Core5.
