A Product You Can Trust

Rhonda Nelson, curriculum, instruction, and assessment coordinator in Bettendorf, Iowa, has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of a reliable, research-based literacy solution: Lexia® Core5® Reading. 

Nelson says collaboration is at the heart of the successful rollout: Because every teacher and administrator accesses a single shared platform, myLexia®, they gain an immediate, crystal-clear view of each student’s performance. This unified data approach refines the district’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), allowing educators to identify, group, and provide specific support efficiently.

The results speak volumes. Students who met the recommended usage in Core5 posted remarkable gains—85% advanced a grade level or more during the course of the school year, reinforcing that purposeful practice paired with timely feedback is central to driving literacy growth. Nelson also credits student engagement for boosting achievement, noting that children genuinely enjoy the adaptive learning experiences offered by Lexia programs.

Beyond data, educators in the Bettendorf community recognize the importance of trust. Administrators need to rely on the quality of any resource they invest in, and Lexia® programs consistently deliver proven instruction. As a result, teachers, interventionists, and principals alike can focus on enhancing learning instead of wondering whether the tools are up to the task.
