[Testimonial] “I trust Lexia!”

For school districts going through a lot of change, empowered teachers help everyone move forward. Hear from Lara Towell, a literacy coach with the Virginia Beach City Public Schools, about how using Lexia® Core5® Reading has helped guide teachers and students through legislation and curriculum changes without sacrificing student engagement and growth.

“There’s no down time and a lot on everybody’s plate,” Towell explains—a sentiment most educators have been able to relate to at some point during their careers. Integrating Core5 into the classroom has taken off some of the pressure by providing evidence-based instruction teachers can trust. “Kids clap and celebrate each other for moving up,” she adds, emphasizing the solution’s day-to-day impact on learning. “[The students] really do like being rewarded for their hard work.”
