Lexia Core5 and PowerUp Helped Students and Teachers Succeed with Remote Blended Learning During School Closures Due to COVID-19 Pandemic - Seite 2

Lexia Core5 Trends 
Core5 is research-proven and designed to accelerate the development of fundamental literacy skills for students of all abilities in grades pre-K-5. When their schools shifted to remote learning during the disruption period, student access to Core5 became a concern for many schools due to a lack of access to devices and internet connections. Consequently, fewer students logged into the program. But among the students who were able to use the program, there were noteworthy trends:

•       Average weekly Core5 usage during the disruption period was 35% higher than average weekly usage during the first two months of 2020.
•       The increased time spent using Core5 resulted in students completing an average of four more units per week during the disruption period compared to earlier in the year.

Lexia PowerUp Trends

The PowerUp, the research-proven, adaptive blended learning program is an intervention for non-proficient and struggling readers in grades 6-12. PowerUp provides learners with three different instructional strands: Word Study, Grammar, and Comprehension. 

When their schools shifted to remote learning during the spring, students’ access to the program decreased, but as with Core5, there were noteworthy trends among those who were able to continue using PowerUp:

•       Average weekly PowerUp usage during the disruption period was 17% higher than average weekly usage during the first two months of 2020.
•       During the disruption period, a greater proportion of students using the program (28%) met their weekly usage targets as compared to just before the disruption (18%). 

Kristina Pontes, English Language Arts Interventionist, Westport Community Schools, Massachusetts, concluded, "The fact that we could reach our students remotely, at their level, and provide research-proven, quality instruction is absolutely fantastic!"
