What is Lexia?

Meet Lexia® Core5®

The #1 program for schools, now in your living room. Not a consumer version of it. The same program.

Developed through Johns Hopkins and Boston Children’s Hospital, Lexia is the world’s leading program built on the Science of Reading. It finds your child's exact level on day one and adapts every session — never bored, never overwhelmed — building each skill until it's locked in. Schools have had it for years. Now your family can.

What a session actually looks like

Ten minutes in JK. Fifteen in SK–Grade 2. Twenty in Grades 3–5. On any iPad or laptop, on the couch or the floor, in the minutes you already have.

They hear it before they read it. Sounds pulled apart and put back together, which is where reading starts.

The code, in sequence. Every sound-to-letter connection locked in before the next one arrives.

Reading for meaning. Once decoding is automatic, the work moves to understanding.

Lexia measures while they read, so nobody has to test them. They call it Assessment Without Testing® and it is patented.

Lexia Core5 is designed to align with and support core classroom instruction, not replace it.

Lexia is digital nutrition, not digital candy.

We all worry about kids and screens. Most screens sedate. Lexia builds. Every activity carefully designed by reading researchers. Each session is short and capped, and then they are back to being an analog kid. No ads, no in-app purchases, nothing chasing them back for a streak.

Proven in research. Trusted at scale.

Lexia Core5 helped 3.7 million kids last year

In a 2023 study of K–3 students, kids working at or above grade level rose from 46% to 90% in a single half-year.

The program is Lexia. The results are Radical.

Lexia is proven to work for up to 95% of kids when delivered with fidelity. Our job is to make it work for your child.

Lark Barker, Clinical Director of Radical Reading, emphasizing fidelity in education.

The Key is Fidelity

Programs don’t fail. Delivery does.

In education, fidelity means delivering a program as it was designed, with the necessary expert human guidance. Large school systems often struggle with this.

With Lexia at Home, you have one child, one parent and one dedicated expert watching closely: the perfect setup for fidelity.

This is why Radical Reading exists.

Lexia at Home FAQ

They are only 4 or 5. Isn't this pushing them too hard?

This isn't "school"—it's more like Phonics Yoga. We aren't drilling them; we are preparing the soil. It is infinitely easier to wire the brain correctly now (while the cement is wet) than to fix it later. But it feels like a game to them.

What happens if my child gets stuck?

We see it in the data and don’t ‘wait and see.’ We step in with a targeted 1:1 Radical Boost to get momentum back.

My kid is already on screens too much. Is this just another game?

Not all screens are created equal. YouTube is "digital candy"; Lexia is digital nutrition. We use the iPad as a clinical delivery device to wire their brain, not to sedate it. It is 20 minutes of high-focus neuro-engineering, capped daily so they can get back to being an analog kid.

Do I have to sit next to them and help them?

Absolutely not. We fire you as the teacher so you can be the parent again. Your job is to be the cheerleader, not the enforcer. The software adapts in real-time to their brain, and we're watching the data. You just high-five them when they finish.

Will this confuse what their teacher is doing in class?

No. Reading is a universal code. We are building the engine; the school is providing the fuel. A better engine makes school easier, not harder. We don't replace school; we engineer the foundation that school is built on. And keep in mind, Lexia is designed to integrate into the school cirriculum.

Why not just license Lexia myself?

Only Ed organizations can license Lexia directly. You aren't buying an app; you are hiring a clinical team and the use of gold-standard educational software usually reserved for districts. It’s way cheaper than traditional tutoring, and way more effective and accountable with comprehensive data.

Should we take a break over the holidays?

Consistency is key to neuroplasticity. Lexia sessions are only 15-20 minutes, and can happen anywhere. So most families find it fits in quite well on most vacations. You don't need a break from something that is a fun for them and easy for you.
