Lexia Core 5 Comes to Lincoln 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!
