As the school year draws to a close, summer provides the perfect opportunity to reflect, reset and prepare for continued literacy success in the new academic year.
Form saving valuable pupil progress data to supporting home learning over the holidays, a few simple steps now can help your school start September feeling organised, confident and ready to go.
To help you make the most of the transition into the new school year, we’ve put together your essential Summer Success Toolkit. These practical actions and helpful resources are designed to support staff, pupils and literacy progress over the summer break.
Save Your myLexia Data Before the Summer Break
As you wrap up the academic year, it’s important to save copies of your key myLexia reports for your own data records. Some reports refresh when the new school year begins, which means the data may appear differently when you return in September.
Downloading reports now gives you a valuable snapshot of pupil progress, programme usage and literacy outcomes across the year. These insights can support end of the year evaluations, intervention reviews, and planning conversations ready for September.
If you need any support accessing or exporting reports, the LexiaUK Implementation Team is always happy to help.
Get your Accounts and Classes Ready for September
Completing your end of year admin tasks before the summer holidays can make the transition into the new academic year much smoother.
Taking time now to review staff accounts, update pupil information and organise classes means your school can return in September ready to begin using Lexia straight away. Many schools also find this a useful opportunity to create new classes and cohorts in preparation for changing interventions, year groups or staffing structures.
To support you through the process, we’ve created a step-by-step video guide that walks through saving data, updating students and staff and organising classes for the new year.
Keep us Updates on Any Staff Changes
If there are changes to the staff members responsible for Lexia next year, please let us know over the summer.
Keeping our records up to date allows us to continue supporting the right people within your school and ensures important communications reach the appropriate staff members ahead of the new term. It also means we can provide tailored onboarding and online training for any new colleagues who will be using Lexia for the first time.

Check Your Devices are Ready for the New Updates
During the summer period, Lexia programmes receive updates that often include changes to system requirements. Checking your devices ahead of September can help avoid unnecessary disruption when pupils return to school.
We recommend downloading the latest system requirements and sharing them with your IT team to ensure devices remain fully compatible and ready for use in the new academic year. A quick check now can help ensure pupils have seamless access to Lexia from the first day of term.
Support Literacy Learning Over the Summer
Lexia programmes can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection, making them an excellent tool for supporting literacy development over the summer holidays.
Encouraging pupils to continue using Lexia at home can help maintain momentum, build confidence, and reduce the risk of summer learning loss – particularly for pupils who benefit from continued literacy practice and routine.
Alongside programme access, there are also a range of additional resources available to help families support learning at home during the break. From printable activities to literacy support ideas, these resources can help keep reading and language development active throughout the summer.
