It began personally, as a painful struggle. Lexia Core5, with its promises of enhancing literacy skills, instead seemed to be creating more challenges than it solved. The frustrations of dealing with this online reading program are something many can attest to.

Lexia Core5 is default resource in many of our schools, yet concerns about its efficacy are widespread. Rather than achieving higher literacy skills, students seem disengaged and confused. However, a 2019 study by the National Foundation for Educational Research reported that online reading programs such as Lexia limited the overall development of deeper reading comprehension in children (NFER, 2019). Students need interactive and dynamic learning, something Lexia Core5 is failing to deliver.

There are alternative methods to enhance literacy and a love for reading in our children. Proven methods, such as mentor-based reading programs and classroom libraries, advocate the importance of good old-fashioned books and passionate educators.

In an era where we have access to reams of information and advanced learning techniques, we can surely do better than Lexia Core5. Let's step away from this ineffective program and take measures to ensure a better, brighter, and literate future for our children.
