We centre exclusively on literacy, which has allowed us to develop a breadth and depth of expertise in the field.

Confidence

Built on the science of reading, our programmes help both learners and teachers feel assured in their literacy journey.

Rigour

Lexia is one of the most extensively researched literacy programmes. With over 20 peer-reviewed studies and a low-cost, high strength rating by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF).

A cost-effective reading intervention solution

By combining personalised learning, real-time insight and structured teaching support, Lexia helps educators achieve measurable reading outcomes efficiently and sustainably. Our programmes were even cited as being cost-effective by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF).

So why are our research-proven literacy programs cost-effective for schools?

Prevention

Address gaps before they grow

Our technology identifies emerging skill gaps and tackles them immediately, which reduces the need for costly future interventions.

Scalable resource

Supporting every pupil, regardless of age and ability

Our technology-led approach empowers teachers to deliver consistent, high-quality literacy support to all learners – not just the weakest few

Reduced Staffing Demands

Efficiency meets evidence-based support

Unlike many one-to-one or small-group interventions, Lexia reduces staffing demands without compromising impact – making it a practical choice for schools balancing tight budgets with the need for evidence-based literacy support.

All skills covered

One programme. Every essential literacy skill.

Strong reading relies on multiple skills working together, from phonological awareness and phonics to vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. Lexia brings all these essential components into one cohesive programme, removing the need for multiple interventions while maintaining a strong, evidence-based approach.

Reusable licences

Maximise your investment

Programme licences can be reassigned once learning goals are met, giving schools flexibility and cost-efficient access for every learner.

Easy to implement and to sustain ongoing

A future-proofed literacy solution

Our structured technology-driven model is simple to set up and intuitive to manage, making onboarding and training new staff efficient, whilst minimising disruption.

Easy to monitor and manage

Track progress in real time

Educators can oversee an entire class, whether pupils are learning in the classroom or at home. Real-time reports show progress and offer insight on where extra support is needed, utilising Assessment Without Testing® to minimise learning disruption.

Supporting staff

Empower educators

Our adaptive literacy programmes free up valuable teacher time by enabling pupils to work independently. With printable lesson plans and targeted resources, educators can deliver focused literacy instruction with ease. Plus, our customer care excellence team is always on hand to provide exceptional support every step of the way.
