Does the computer software Lexia raise reading attainment for EAL learners (English as an Additional Language)?

Lexia’s own research Lexia Research ‘Lexia – Best Practices Report’ Findings : ‘lowest performing children and EAL students were the students who benefited the most from using Lexia’. UK study in York Could Lexia be applied to EAL learners in a multicultural inner –city London school setting to raise reading attainment?

Why choose Lexia? ‘ Second language learners need resources with a high level of visual support which will help them to cue what the text is all about. Equally important is a strong element of repetition and rhyme to predict what comes next and to internalize the rhythms, sounds and structures of English.’ (V.Edwards (1990) p. 18, Reading and Language Information Centre)

Research design Time frame and frequency : ‘Lexia Best Practises Report’ three EAL children in Year three with different level of reading skills one to one sessions with LSA Questionnaire with LSA after trial

Research design A control group without intervention to provide a comparison ‘Quick Reading Test’ for Lexia Nelson Reading test Three sessions for five consecutive weeks
