Classrooms teach the basics. But for most kids, reading mastery takes more. They need 1:1 systematic practice beyond the classroom. Lexia makes this easy, for them and for you.
The Research-Proven tool
Lexia picks up where group instruction leaves off.
Developed through Johns Hopkins and Boston Children’s Hospital, Lexia is the world’s leading program built on the Science of Reading. It works with each child individually, on exactly what they need next, at exactly their own pace, while we monitor the data so they never get stuck or off track. Parents get a detailed monthly report that can be shared with teachers.

Lark helped change Ontario’s classrooms. Now she’s here for you.
Radical's Director of Education, Lark Barker, helped shape Ontario's Right to Read movement — years spent fighting for early reading screening and a science-based curriculum. Those changes are real, but they are not enough. The system still has very limited capacity to deliver beyond the basics. Radical is how she completes that work: one child at a time, with Lexia in your living room.
—Lark Barker, Director of Education
What we want for every child
Strong early reading lifts the trajectory of a life. A child who reads with ease reads more. And every book lifts the next. Curiosity and confidence grows, subjects open up, and the slope of their whole education tilts upward. Reading that never quite clicks quietly narrows their horizon. Reading mastery cracks it wide open, giving them the freedom to claim their world.
