Advancing Adolescent Literacy Through Evidence-Based Instruction

Administrators in Texas are working to accelerate literacy growth and support measurable reading improvements for students in grades 6–12. Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® can help these leaders ensure that their middle and high school classrooms are building the reading skills that are critical to academic achievement.

This flyer shares testimonials from Texas educators who rely on PowerUp to strengthen reading outcomes and provide equitable opportunities for literacy success. The highlights include:

“I use Lexia PowerUp in my ELA Resource classes,” said Abbey Blair, a teacher at Memorial Parkway Junior High. “It is a great program for individualized instruction! The students are motivated to learn by earning streaks for prizes. The listen mode function is awesome for my students with dyslexia.”

“PowerUp has helped me as an educator to be very deliberate in the lessons I provide,” said Marianne White, a reading intervention teacher at Highlands High School. “I know exactly the skill that [students] are needing assistance with. I’m able to pull reports that show me students getting ready to go into that lesson, so I can be preventative and prescriptive at the same time.”

PowerUp accelerates literacy gains for students in grades 6–12 who are at risk of not meeting college- and career-ready standards. Rooted in the science of reading, PowerUp enables students to make multiple years of growth in a single academic year.
