[Testimonial] “They don’t have to convince the kids to use [Lexia]!”

Informed, active leadership is key when making progress toward literacy goals. Hear from Catherine Guillory and Francis Touchet Jr. from Lafayette Parish in Louisiana, about how they are inspiring educators to implement the science of reading. From training and support to buy-in and incentives, Guillory and Touchet use everything in their toolkit when it comes to driving student success.

When looking for a way to keep teachers and students on track, it was important to Guillory to find a program or solution that provided immediate impact via effective interventions. With a curriculum already focused on the science of reading, the team found it easy to integrate Lexia® evidence-backed edtech solutions into their school district. Teachers seamlessly assess and make decisions based on student reports, and the students are enthusiastic about tracking their own progress. For Lafayette Parish, Lexia solutions are a win-win.
