Lexia PowerUp Literacy Description
PowerUp Literacy®, Lexia®, accelerates literacy gains for students in grades 6-12 who may not meet College- and Career Ready Standards. PowerUp Literacy has been shown to be five times more effective than the average middle school reading intervention. It allows students to grow multiple years in one academic year. Students in grades 6-12 will have made the leap from reading to learning to read. Assessments such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress have been showing that there is a significant opportunity gap. Only about a third of eighth graders are proficient readers. Many students are at risk of not reaching academic potential because the majority of secondary curriculum is taught through reading. PowerUp can help. Lexia's literacy experts created PowerUp with over 30 years of experience in structuring literacy programs that maximize student learning.

Lexia is a waste of money for administrators Date: May 19 2022
Summary: Overall I do not recommend Lexia for administrators or students; please look for a better program worth your money. I politely prithee and beseech the Lexia PowerUp company to take criticism and update their musty, old-school, not modernly-adjusted, non-aesthetically pleasing layout, features, and art.
Positive: The videos were decent. They explained what the topic was, and some videos were surprisingly well made. There is visible room for improvement but that is the least of my concern.
Negative: Aesthetic-wise: Lexia's websites layout looks straight out of 2012. Not to mention the art style for units look horrible, I wish they could do something cute with animals or at least something more decent-looking if they are going for the realistic art style. The theme colors are blue, green, yellow, and orange which does not sit right with me, the palette does not match at all and is one of the least aesthetically pleasing programs I have ever seen.

Technical-wise: The questions are impossible if you do not have access to headphones. I have to guess most of the time because the videos do not provide instructions, just the meaning of the topic. In addition to this, you have to have an abundant level of patience to complete any single unit. (If you are a user without headphones, this will happen:) After clicking an answer, you have to wait an average of 10 seconds in aggravating silence before you can get to the next question. During this time, it explains the instructions only audibly for the next question, so sometimes it takes longer than 10 seconds. I entreat Lexia to place instructions at the top of the question, instead of an audible disarray that makes users ferociously click their keyboards. Furthermore, many questions are set up ambiguously and do not explain what you got wrong (unless again, you have headphones.) I have found the unit restarts sometimes if I answer one or two questions incorrectly, but other times I just lose my answer streak. Not to mention that you loose your progress if you forget to log out, instead of just closing the tab.The program is a discombobulating experience.
