Our school is using Lexia Reading Core5™, a web-based reading program that provides the targeted practice and instruction students need to develop their reading skills.

As an added benefit, students can use Core5 at home. Getting started is easy!

1. Launch a web browser and go to www.lexiacore5.com.

· Create a bookmark or favorite for this web address.

· You will see a link to download Adobe Flash Player if you do not have it.

Flash Player 11 or higher is required.

· If you have a slow Internet connection or if you cannot install Flash Player, you can install the Core5 software on your computer instead of using the website. Go to www.lexialearning.com and click Downloads at the top of the page.

· iPad and iPad Mini users can download the Core5 app from the App store. Search for “Lexia Reading Core5.”

· Android tablet users can download the Core5 app from the Google Play store. Search for “Lexia Reading Core5.” Note that the app is not available for Kindle.

2. The first time you access Core5, you must set up:

· Click the Student/Parent button.

· Type in your teacher’s email (jwollek@mfisd.txed.net) and click the arrow button to continue.

3. Allow or help your child to login. The student username and password is typically the same as their user name and password for Accelerated Reader (AR). If you have trouble logging in please contact Mrs. Wollek or Mrs. Whiteside.

Important! Please allow your child to work independently at his or her own pace. Provide encouragement, but don’t give away the answers!
