Lexia Core 5 Intervention Program

 No more Waterford! No more Freckle Reading! 

Instead, we have Lexia Core 5 for grades K-5! This is also what interventionists will be using in their groups for students needing a tier 2 or 3 intervention. 

In order to support intervention, students need to be on the computer program, Lexia Core 5, for about 20 minutes a day. This will also be the tier 2 intervention for students NOT in reading intervention with a teacher. 

Isle of Wight County has access to several professional learning opportunities including asynchronous modules, pre-recorded sessions, and the Virginia Live Online Professional Learning Series. (While it may say Core 5 Grades 3-5, it is for K-2 as well.) These sessions are designed to help teachers, tutors, and parents understand how Lexia can support student literacy development, the materials available to support tutoring sessions, how to navigate the myLexia data platform, and how to successfully implement Lexia programs and resources. Each calendar details the specific sessions offered. I encourage you to learn about Lexia’s Core5 student programs. All the resources you need are linked below!

We are using Lexia Core 5 because it was approved by VDOE as an intervention program. Other technology programs like Freckle, Dreamscape, Prodigy, and IXL were NOT approved and cannot be used. 

If you are comfortable, start day 1! If you want to learn a bit more, the expectation for use will start on September 30th.
