Lexia has provided us with a method to deliver literacy interventions to a large number of students without the need for a high proportion of staffing. This has made Lexia very cost effective. We have also seen excellent improvements in the Standard Age Scores of students using Lexia.

We are thrilled to hear that Lexia has helped drive measurable literacy progress in school and has supported students in better accessing the curriculum. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team here at LexiaUK if you need any further support.
L Gregg found Lexia Reading Skills Software:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“Students using Lexia have seen an increase in their Standard Age Score for reading. With 100 being the average Standard Age Score (SAS), last year we saw an increase in SAS of 7.9 for students in year 7. In year 9, we saw an average increase in SAS for those students using Lexia of 9.8, with PP students seeing an increase of 12.3 in SAS.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“It breaks down literacy skills into word study, grammar and comprehension. Following an initial assessment, Lexia will target students to the correct level in each area to develop their literacy skills.”
- Significantly provides school data“Lexia allows the school to track students' individual data and also the cohort as a whole in each of the 3 areas of study so we can see which area needs the most support.”
- Significantly improves attainment“We have less students needing to us Lexia as they get older, showing that their reading age is improving. We have 44 in year 7, 33 in year 8, 30 in year 9 and 19 in year 10.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Students with stronger literacy skills are able to access the curriculum more easily and this makes teaching knowledge and skills in the individual subjects easier.”
