Learners with SEND
Supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
Here at LexiaUK, inclusion is at the heart of everything that we do.
Inclusive by design, our adaptive literacy programmes Core5® Reading for Primary and PowerUp Literacy® for Secondary provide personalised support for every pupil, regardless of background or learning need.
Rooted in the Science of Reading and supported by 30+ years of research, we ensure that every learner can make meaningful progress with tailored literacy intervention for reading, writing and language.
From pupils with SEND or EAL, to those from disadvantaged backgrounds or eligible for Pupil Premium (FSM), our programmes provide the structure, flexibility and inspire motivation to help every learner thrive.

Each pupil follows an adaptive learning path that is tailored to their skill level.
Built on 30+ years of research, in which complex learners are amongst the strongest represented cohorts, our approach supports pupils with a range of learning disabilities, offering proven results.
myLexia® identifies skill gaps early, enabling timely and targeted support.
Printable lesson plans, Skill Builders®, and Lexia Lessons® give staff practical tools to deliver targeted support, even if they themselves aren’t literacy specialists.
Multi-sensory activities, consistent visual styles and routine supports confidence and independence in learners with additional needs.

Building literacy skills while developing English proficiency.
Lexia programmes are built on research-proven principles that make high-quality teaching inclusive by design.
Research shows that our literacy programmes are effective across all groups, including pupils with SEND, EAL and those eligible for FSM (Pupil Premium).
“In the EEF Core5® trial, pupils eligible for free school meals made two additional months’ progress in reading on average.”
“Implementation surveys show Lexia is widely used for SEND support and inclusion across UK primary and secondary schools.”

“As a mainstream state school with a wide range of ability and SEN, Lexia has provided us with a reading and literacy strategy that supports all students as they transition from primary school and for those who continue to use Lexia into KS4, who struggle with persistent literacy difficulties that require intervention beyond quality first teaching.”
For over 30 years, LexiaUK has been committed to helping schools across the UK and Ireland unlock the power of literacy.
