[Testimonial] Daily Core5 Integration at Jackson Charter School Closes Early Literacy Gaps

At Jackson Charter School, early literacy is a communitywide priority. In this video, Interim Principal Dr. Ebony Wrenn shares how Lexia® Core5® Reading plays a central role in the school’s daily instructional model and literacy improvement plan. Serving a predominantly African American student population, Jackson Charter educators are using data-driven strategies to meet learners where they are and accelerate reading growth across grade levels.

Lexia® provides targeted, adaptive support aligned to how the brain naturally learns to read—building foundational skills in phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension. Teachers receive real-time insights into student progress, allowing them to adjust instruction with precision and confidence. Core5 is embedded in daily routines and reinforced weekly through dedicated skill-building blocks, ensuring students receive consistent, responsive instruction.

Beyond academic gains, Lexia is helping students develop confidence and motivation. As students see their progress and “level up,” they take greater ownership of their learning and build the skills they need to thrive long term. Teachers are energized by this growth, and leaders feel hopeful and empowered by the tools and support Lexia provides.

For school leaders aiming to close literacy gaps with evidence-based solutions and real partnership, Jackson Charter’s story shows what’s possible when commitment meets the right resource.
