Abstract
This quantitative study evaluated the efficiency of the Lexia Reading Program in 132 early elementary school students in an inner-city school in Hartford, Connecticut. Students who met the criteria were assigned to the experimental Lexia group, and other students were randomly assigned to a comparison group. The Northwest Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress (NWEA MAP) was used to provide pre and post measures of literacy skills. Results indicated that students who used Lexia outperformed students in the control group (p <.01): their MAP scores increased from 157 to 174, a 17-point increase, while the control group’s scores increased from 166 to 171, a 5-point increase. The Lexia reading program appears to be an effective tool to improve the literacy skills of struggling first- to third-grade readers.
