My Project

As educators, we work to create a well-balanced, rigorous, and loving learning environment in order to prepare all of our scholars to become change agents for our community. One way we support our scholars is by providing personalized online instruction as a supplement to teacher-led and collaborative activities. Lexia is an adaptive platform that engages students with goal-based, gamified learning activities. Students who have used online reading programs this year have seen not only academic gains but a boost in confidence as well.

On a typical day, students who are newcomers to the US will use this software to practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking English, while students with disabilities will strengthen their reading fluency, spelling, grammar, and comprehension.

Your support in purchasing these licenses will allow teachers to work with small groups and individuals while other students access personalized lessons online. Thank you!
