![]() Our trial of Lexia involved 697 pupils across 57 schools. ![]() The evaluation also measured the individual skills that compose ‘reading skills’, which allows for comparison with previous studies and to identify any areas of strength or weakness in the programme in terms of enhancing children’s reading development. This trial is the first opportunity to evaluate the programme using a large-scale RCT within the UK context, using outcomes that measure all-round reading ability. Previous research on Lexia in the US and UK found promising results. Lexia Reading Core5® is currently used in over 3,000 schools in the UK. Technology can be particularly useful in personalising learning to match pupils’ individual abilities and needs given the potential for such programmes to adapt and focus on the child’s learning needs. Research has identified remedial and tutorial use of technology as being particularly practical for lower attaining pupils, those with special educational needs or those from disadvantaged backgrounds in providing intensive support to enable them to catch up with their peers.
