The critical learning window for reading is SK to 2nd grade, yet up to 60% of 4th graders are behind.
Don’t ‘Wait and See’. Take control of your child’s early reading journey, with Lexia and Radical Reading.
“Reading is not a natural process like spoken language; it’s a complex skill that must be ‘wired up’ in young brains.”
Stanislas Dehaene, Cognitive Neuroscientist
Lexia is a structured literacy program based on the science of reading that helped 3.7 million students in SK-5 across North America last year. It's powerful adaptive technology ensures every child learns each skill thoroughly, at their own pace; and nobody falls through the cracks.
Lexia is the program your school should be using, but probably isn't. Now you can do Lexia at Home, with expert guidance and tutoring support from Radical Reading.
Up to 20% of kids struggle with symptoms of dyslexia. Every parent should be watching carefully for signs and milestones from age 3 onward.
Early identification is key: the majority of reading strugles can be effectively remediated with the right instruction.
We’re experts in the screening, assessment and remediation of dyslexia using the latest tools anchored in the science of reading and the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Reading science has proved it: kids don’t catch up on their own. They just fall further behind.
The ‘Matthew Effect’
Strong early reading ignites a spiral of confidence, capability and success that builds on itself for a lifetime.
Literacy is not just about academics. It's a doorway to a lifelong path of curiosity, self-discovery and personal growth.
Early reading struggles risk slipping into a negative spiral with feelings of shame, inadequacy and failure.
