Lexia Reading

Lexia Reading is a computerized reading program that provides phonics instruction and independent practice in basic reading skills for kindergarten and first-grade students. The program is designed to supplement regular classroom instruction and support skill development in the five areas of reading instruction identified by the National Reading Panel. Students work independently with the software for two to five weekly sessions of 20 to 30 minutes each in a lab or classroom setting. The frequency varies by student need: twice per week for students reading on grade level or above, three to four times per week for at-risk or ESL/ELL students, and five times per week for special education, Title I, and ESL/ELL students with serious reading deficiencies. The software automatically tracks student responses and provides additional practice when needed. Teachers and computer lab staff receive orientation and training sessions for implementing the software.
