Lexia® Core5® Reading: Your Science of Reading Solution

The strands of Scarborough’s Reading Rope are woven throughout Lexia® Core5® Reading, helping educators untangle the complexities of learning to read for students in a comprehensive, structured, and systematic way.

Just as the strands of that rope are interconnected, word-recognition and language-comprehension skills are woven within and across Core5’s scope and sequence.

For word recognition, Core5 explicitly builds components through activities including:  

• Phonological awareness: Students develop skills through activities focused on rhyming, blending, segmenting, and phoneme manipulation.
• Phonics: Students develop decoding skills by matching sounds to letters, learning syllable types and division strategies, and applying knowledge of spelling patterns.
• Fluency: Students develop sight vocabulary of regular and irregular high-frequency words.

For language comprehension, Core5 comprehension activities build these skills through instruction focused on language structures, background knowledge, and literacy knowledge. Additionally, vocabulary and verbal reasoning skills are refined through activities including:

• Vocabulary: Academic vocabulary is taught and practiced through direct and deep instruction, all in the context of multifaceted topics and texts.
• Structural Analysis: Students learn the structure of words to support decoding and vocabulary development through activities that teach prefixes, roots, suffixes, and Greek combining forms.
• Comprehension: Students develop literacy knowledge through explicit instruction focused on print concepts, story structure, and text types.

Using evidence-based methodologies to emphasize the interconnectedness of word recognition and language comprehension, Core5 supports educators as they equip learners with the essential skills needed for successful and strategic reading development.
