Lexia Learning’s Literacy Suite Proven Strongly Effective Across Elementary and Secondary Grades
July 13 2020 - 8:00AM
According to a recent article from The Hechinger
Report*, during school closures, many educators trusted
companies’ misleading descriptions of their research when
purchasing remote learning resources. That article also cited the
importance of Evidence for ESSA which provides “an independent
assessment of the research that companies conduct on their
products.”Today, Lexia Learning, a Rosetta Stone company (NYSE:
RST), is pleased to announce that studies proving the
efficacy of both Lexia® Core5®
Reading and Lexia® PowerUp®
Literacy have met Evidence for ESSA’s standards
for
Strong Evidence. This means Lexia’s research
on its two literacy products, both elementary and secondary,
have met the highest tier of efficacy evidence outlined by
federal law.
“Very few reading
technology companies have designed programs that have earned ESSA
Strong ratings at both the elementary and secondary
level,” said Dr. Liz Brooke, Lexia Chief Learning Officer. “Of
those that have met that high bar, the Evidence for ESSA estimates
would suggest that Lexia’s programs have the largest impact on
student reading outcomes.”
The highly regarded
independent review organization, Evidence for ESSA, is part of
the Johns Hopkins School of Education and considered by some to be
the “Consumer Reports of education programs.”
The study evaluating Core5, an adaptive blended learning
program, found that students who used the program in grades K-5 had
significantly higher scores on MAP® Growth™, a common
assessment, compared to a control group. Core5 is designed to
accelerate the development of fundamental and advanced literacy
skills for students of all abilities in elementary grades.
The study evaluating the adaptive blended learning
program, PowerUp, an intervention for struggling readers in grades
6-12, found that PowerUp users scored significantly higher on STAR
Reading™, another common assessment, compared to a control
group.
Founded through a
research grant over 30 years ago, Lexia has been committed to
conducting evidence-based, scientific research to support the
development of Lexia products and demonstrate the efficacy of Lexia
programs. “For the past 15 years, studies on Lexia products have
been conducted and published in multiple peer-reviewed journals,”
said Dr. Brooke.“To date, Lexia now has over 20 externally-reviewed
research studies that meet the standards of evidence under
ESSA.”
Brooke concluded,
“During this challenging environment of remote learning, it is
critical that schools can have solutions, like Lexia, that has
proven in multiple rigorous research studies that it can offer a
flexible implementation model, access to ongoing student data, and
help accelerate learning and close gaps for students of all ages
and needs.”
