May 20 2020 - 8:00AM
Lexia Learning, a Rosetta Stone company (NYSE: RST), today
announced that its personalized literacy programs Lexia®PowerUp
Literacy® and Lexia® Core5® Reading were chosen as
finalists in The 2020 EdTech Cool Tool Awards by EdTech
Digest.
For the past 10 years, the esteemed national
edtech awards program has sought to celebrate and highlight the
innovators, leaders, and trendsetters across the K-12, higher
education, and skills and workforce sectors. This year’s finalists
and winners were narrowed from the larger field and judged based on
criteria, including pedagogical workability, efficacy and results,
support, clarity, value and potential.
“We are honored to have Lexia products recognized
for the innovative way they empower teachers to individualize and
personalize learning, engage students with compelling and rigorous
content, and ensure students achieve the academic success and
personal literacy growth they need to excel in today’s world,” said
Nick Gaehde, president of Lexia Learning.
Recognized as a finalist in the category of best
language arts solution, the company’s flagship product, Core5,
provides a systematic and structured approach to six critical areas
of reading. The program creates personalized learning paths for
students of all abilities through an adaptive placement and
scaffolded activities that align to rigorous outside
standards. Originally introduced in 2013, the Core5 program
underwent its largest expansion in 2019 with added support for
students in upper elementary grades, including three new levels and
nearly 300 new online units – each with added practice and explicit
instruction when students need it.
PowerUp was chosen as a finalist in the
categories of best personalized learning solution and best
literacy/reading solution. PowerUp is designed to help struggling
and nearly-proficient readers in grades 6–12 become proficient
readers and confident learners. PowerUp helps educators
simultaneously address gaps in fundamental literacy skills while
helping students build the higher-order skills they need to
comprehend, analyze, evaluate, and compare increasingly complex
literary and informational texts. Blending online
student-driven explicit instruction with offline teacher-delivered
lessons and activities, PowerUp empowers secondary
teachers—regardless of their background or expertise in reading—to
deliver the exact instruction each student needs to become a
proficient reader. Recently, PowerUp received a “Strong”
rating from the independent review organization Evidence
for ESSA. The rating means that the program meets federal
standards under the Every Student Succeeds Act for
demonstrating “Strong Evidence” of efficacy (the highest rating for
any intervention, product or program).
“A very big congratulations to the finalists and
winners of The EdTech Awards 2020,” said Editor-in-Chief of EdTech
Digest, Victor Rivero. “To those moving students forward across
K-12, higher education, and workforce learning—in these
unprecedented times—we hope this recognition brings you some
much-deserved joy and light to help see you through!”
