Paula Crimes found Lexia Reading Skills Software:

• Builds student knowledge“Lexia Core5 Reading has been a hugely valuable support tool. It has helped to fill gaps in phonics, decoding, and fluency.”
• Reduces attainment gap“For pupils with low confidence, this personalised approach has made a real difference – they feel successful and engaged. We have seen strong gains in reading confidence and ability, particularly in decoding and vocabulary. Most importantly, children who were previously disengaged from reading are now choosing to use Lexia in their own time – a clear sign of its impact.”
• Provides school data
• Improves attainment“Improved phonics knowledge, decoding and fluency.”
• Improves teaching efficiency“For a Year 2 teacher who uses Lexia with several pupils reading 12–24 months below age expectations, Lexia Core5 Reading has proved to be a hugely valuable support tool. The adaptive structure allows each child to work at their level, filling gaps in phonics, decoding, and fluency without feeling left behind. For pupils with low confidence, this personalised approach has made a real difference – they feel successful and engaged. The programme is easy to integrate into class routines, and the audio and visual elements support independent use, even for those who usually need extra adult help. The data and progress tracking are also clear and useful, helping me target interventions more effectively.”
