A ‘Promising Programme’
The latest study builds on existing evidence and was proposed based on the strength of Lexia’s large user base, its alignment with the EEF’s literacy guidance, and promising findings from earlier evaluations. This has led to the EEF listing Lexia as a ‘Promising Programme’, a recognition that only a select few solutions have received.
EEF Study Findings on Lexia Core5 – January 2020
The initial study, involving 697 Year 2 pupils across 57 schools, found that children using Lexia made an average of +1 month’s reading progress, with disadvantaged pupils on Free School Meals achieving +2 months. The evaluation received a high-security rating and was deemed very low-cost to deliver.

The results will assess reading outcomes, with the final report due in Summer 2026. We look forward to sharing updates as the study progresses.
