Mission Possible: Strengthen Summer Learning for Florida Fall Readiness

Florida school administrators know summer learning plays a critical role in maintaining literacy gains and preparing students for a strong start to the new school year. This flyer offers actionable guidance to help school leaders build summer reading programs that close skill gaps, strengthen intervention planning, and support readiness for fall FAST screening and ongoing literacy expectations.

Florida’s literacy requirements, including Section 1003.4201 and the K–3 accountability pressures connected to Section 1008.25, require schools to provide evidence-based reading instruction, timely intervention, and support for students with reading deficiencies.

Lexia® Core5® Reading helps school leaders design summer programming that aligns with Florida’s literacy mandates and strengthens progress toward grade-level reading proficiency.

This resource highlights how Core5, a Florida DOE-approved K–3 intervention solution, helps school leaders extend evidence-based literacy support into summer learning. With real-time progress monitoring through B.E.S.T.-aligned myLexia®, schools can quickly identify unfinished learning, prioritize students needing support, and create clear intervention documentation before fall screening begins.

Built on the science of reading and proven to strengthen FAST outcomes in Florida schools, Core5 helps educators use summer as a strategic bridge to stronger literacy performance in the fall.

Additionally, Core5’s real-time data helps schools quickly identify:

• Students needing additional support

• Unfinished learning

• Skill-specific gaps

• Intervention priorities before FAST screening
