Dear Parent/Guardian,
This year your child will be using Lexia® Core5® Reading, a fun computer-based program that has
helped millions of students. The activities in Core5 support and build on our classroom curriculum and
focus on developing reading skills in six areas: phonological awareness, phonics, structural analysis,
fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Here’s how Lexia Core5 Reading works:
● Your child begins Core5 at a starting point that fits his or her needs and works in online activities
throughout the week.
● Online activities include direct instruction and feedback as your child learns new skills.
● Progress and performance in the program is reported so teachers can provide help when needed.
● Paper-and-pencil activities are also used for practice and may be done in school or brought home.
● Achievement certificates may be sent home to celebrate success and to show progress in the
program.
We hope you share in our excitement about this program!
Sincerely,

Lexia® Core5® Reading can be used at home for extra practice.
Getting started is easy!
1. To use on a computer, go to www.lexiacore5.com.
2. To use on an iPad, iPad mini, or Android* tablet, download the free Lexia Core5 Reading app from
the App Store or the Google Play store. *Android support is limited to these devices: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, Google
Pixel C, and Google Nexus 7” (2012 and 2013) and 10”. The app will not work on other devices, including Kindle.
3. The first time your child uses Core5, you may need to enter the teacher email shown below.
Your child can then log in with the username and password used at school and listed below.
Teacher Email (for setup):
[email protected]_________________________________________
Username: _____child's first name_____________________________________
Password: _____child's first 4 letters of their 1st name___________________________
4. It is important that your child works without any help while using Core5. All of the work your
child does at home is recorded and reported to school. This way, teachers can see when help is
needed and provide additional instruction at school.
5. If you have a question about your child’s username or password, please contact your child’s
teacher.
