Used Lexia Reading Skills Software weekly for 1-2 years
Dec 2024
Lexia is a useful piece of software, which, unlike some interventions, students are generally happy to use. It is highly personalised to their needs, and visible measures like streaks etc. help them to understand and appreciate when they have made progress. The UI for staff is intuitive and easy to navigate. However, sometimes there are issues with content loading (e.g., the site is slow to respond to students choosing their answers), and I have noticed that resources tend to default to American spellings/word usages, which can cause confusion in an English school.
Lana Wrigley found Lexia Reading Skills Software:
- Moderately reduces attainment gap“51% of all students enrolled on Lexia last year increased their Reading Ages (as measure by the Star Reading test). 33% of these increased by more than a year. 71% of our SEND students enrolled on Lexia increased their Reading Ages.”
- Moderately provides school data“We have used the data provided from Lexia in a Challenge Partners review, where external partners visited the school to measure our success in various areas including literacy. It has also been shared with staff across the school to highlight student achievements.”
- Does not significantly improve teaching efficiency
- Moderately improves attainment
- Moderately builds student knowledge
