Phonics Software for Primary Schools
Lexia significantly improves reading outcomes in Years 1 – 3, as proven in scientifically-based research.
Early Years Reading Skills are key:
Foundation and Key Stage 1 years are when students develop the basic reading skills they will rely on and use throughout their lives. Research demonstrates that students who struggle with phonological skills in early years are typically at risk of reading failure by Year 5. Furthermore, the successful remediation of older students with reading difficulties is much more challenging than a successful intervention with students at the early years stage.
Reading Skills
Young children who do not develop accurate and rapid word reading skills are caught in a pattern of repeated failures. They also exhibit high levels of frustration and, ultimately, lose their motivation to read. Given that all school subject areas require reading skills for academic success, the reading failure these students experience in early years undermines their learning capacity and limits their educational growth across their life span.
High quality instruction and the opportunity to practice essential reading skills such as phonological awareness, phonics, sight word recognition, sound-symbol correspondence and word-attack skills, help students develop a foundation for reading success.
Teaching Children To Read
Lexia Reading software is designed to support classroom instruction by providing children with individualized independent practice with basic reading skills. All of Lexia Reading programs, Early Reading (ages 4 – 6), Foundation Reading (ages 5 – 8) and Strategies for Older Students (ages 9 – adult) support the development of essential reading skills.
“All in all, we have been really impressed with Lexia as a package. We would certainly recommend it to others. As part of a range of very successful interventions, Lexia has undoubtedly worked for our children and we plan to incorporate it accordingly into our future provision.” Head Teacher, Whale Hill Primary School
