Lexia Early Reading®
Ages 4 - 6
Lexia Early Reading is a state-of-the art, interactive reading program, specifically designed to increase
phonological awareness among 4-6 year olds.
Knowledge of the structure of language and basic sound-symbol correspondence gives early readers a strategy
to apply when confronted with unfamiliar words, and prepares them for reading success.
The activities in the program provide exposure to phonological principles and the alphabet, presented in an
engaging, age-appropriate manner by a friendly character named Lexie.
SKILLS REINFORCED INCLUDE:
Level 1: Rhyming, recognizing initial and final sounds, segmenting, blending
Level 2: Letter knowledge, sound/symbol correspondence, consonants, short vowels, consonant digraphs

success.

awareness, progressing to sound-symbol correspondence.
Interactive exercises branch automatically, providing practice where needed and moving on to more difficult areas
when the student is ready.
Teachers can assign program units to customize the learning experience for individual students.
Easy-to-read reports provide a detailed record of student activity and performance.
