Core5® is a fun, computer-based program for students in Kindergarten through grade 5 that has helped millions of students improve their literacy skills. The activities in Core5 support and build on your child’s classroom curriculum and focus on developing reading skills in six areas: phonological awareness, phonics, structural analysis, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. 

PowerUp Literacy® is a computer-based program for students in grades 6-8 that tailors instruction to their specific needs. The activities in PowerUp support and build on our English language arts classroom curriculum, focusing on three areas essential to becoming a proficient reader: word study, grammar, and comprehension.

Here’s how Lexia Core5 Reading and PowerUP Literacy works:

• Your child begins at a starting point that fits his or her needs. 

• Online activities include direct instruction and immediate feedback as your child learns new skills. 

• Progress and performance in the online activities is saved and available for teacher review. 

• During the school year, your child has the opportunity to participate in collaborative, hands-on activities to reinforce skills introduced online and further develop learning. Over the summer, you can support progress in the program by reading daily with your child and talking about what you have read. We hope you share in our excitement about using Lexia  with your child this summer!
