Lexia Reading
Thanks to Measure A we now have 2 Computer Labs and computers in every classroom. This web-based program can be acessed at school and at home for 30 students at a time. Lexia recommends 30 licenses for a school the size of Glenshire.
Lexia's "Assessment without Testing" real-time diagnostic capability also generates the optimal instructional path for each student. The management system collects all students' records, analyzes the rates of progress of each student an reports their progress against a national sample. The program is state-adopted for English Language Arts and English Language Development. Teachers will use the date to inform classroom instruction.
Glenshire Elementary's students have been participating in a trail subscription to Lexia Reading and need funding to purchase the program. We are asking for 1/3 the cost of 30 licenses for this standard-based, district and state curriculum-aligned software program. Our 516 K-5 students will receive engaging, interactive, research-based reading instruction. Automated student management tools (assessment, evaluation, report generation) will provide staff with immediate feedback to students and staff on the progress in the reading curriculum. The software individualizes and supports reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and phonological awareness.Our efforts to differentiate instruction based on students' needs will be supported by having this option for instruction. Lexia has been successful at all elementary schools in our District. We have already received funding for 1/3 the cost of the program from Special Education, are asking Excellence in Education for 1/3 of the cost, and will raise the remaining 1/3 from donated funds.Our staff received training on the program last spring and additional free training and support will be provided.
Data drives our PLC decisions. Lexia will provide this data instantly in very easy to understand and use format. Each time a student enters the program they will progress at their level.
