Lexia Core 5 Comes to Brown School!
We are excited to announce that Lexia Core 5 is being implemented
at our school. This program offers a comprehensive platform
for practicing key reading skills in a self-leveling and engaging way
for students. Lexia promises to be a key component of our ongoing
focus on reading - especially helping our students grow individually
toward their goals. A few students got to try it out last week at our
school and they report really liking it. Teachers will start their training
this week and it will be in every classroom before long.
We can’t wait to get started!
