Allocating a dedicated Lexia Coordinator is one of the most effective ways to ensure your school gets the most out of Lexia Core5 Reading or Lexia PowerUp Literacy. The role of the Lexia Coordinator is to oversee the day-to-day running of the program, making sure it’s implemented consistently and effectively. But what does that look like in practice, and how can schools ensure this role has the impact it deserves? In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of having a Lexia Coordinator and offer practical tips for success.

The Key Role of a Lexia Coordinator

A Lexia Coordinator is the key link between your Lexia program and your school’s operations. Their primary responsibilities include:

  • Ensuring Consistent Program Usage: A Lexia Coordinator keeps the literacy program at the forefront of teachers’ daily plans. They encourage regular usage across classrooms, ensuring students are engaging with Lexia consistently to make progress.
  • Data Monitoring and Reporting: myLexia provides detailed data on student progress. The Lexia Coordinator monitors this data to identify where pupils need additional support and shares these insights with teachers to shape interventions.
  • Supporting Staff: The Lexia Coordinator acts as a resource for teachers, answering questions, offering guidance on how to use the program, and sharing strategies to improve results.
  • Liaison Between School and LexiaUK: Coordinators bridge communication between your school and LexiaUK, keeping staff informed about updates or best practices and ensuring any technical or educational queries are addressed quickly.
  • Celebrating Success – The Lexia Coordinator plays a vital role in promoting the celebration of milestones among staff and students—whether it’s printing and awarding certificates, posting celebrations on social media, or sharing achievements with parents. This recognition helps keep students engaged and proud of their progress.

Tips for a Successful Lexia Coordinator

Assigning a Lexia Coordinator is the first step, but how do you make sure the role is as effective as possible? Here are five practical tips:

  1. Choose Someone with a Passion for Literacy – Your Lexia Coordinator should be someone who is committed to improving literacy outcomes and has strong relationships with staff and students. A literacy champion can inspire others to engage more actively with the program, making sure it becomes an integral part of the school’s learning environment.
  2. Allocate Regular Time for the Role – It’s crucial that the Lexia Coordinator has dedicated time to manage the program effectively. Whether it’s during planning periods or INSET days, ensure there is time set aside for them to monitor data, review student progress, and address any challenges.
  3. Encourage Regular Data Reviews – Lexia’s data insights are one of its most powerful tools. Regularly reviewing student progress allows the Coordinator to identify trends and patterns, ensuring students who are falling behind are given the right support. Set up weekly or fortnightly data reviews to keep everything on track.
  4. Offer Ongoing Training and Support – The role of Lexia Coordinator isn’t a ‘set it and forget it’ position. Make sure they have access to ongoing training from LexiaUK, including resources, webinars and videos. Annual training is included as part of your school’s Lexia package, so there is nothing further to pay to access ongoing support.
  5. Maintain Open Communication – It’s vital for the Lexia Coordinator to provide regular updates to staff and leadership. By sharing progress reports, celebrating student successes, and addressing areas for improvement, the Lexia Coordinator keeps everyone engaged and aligned with literacy goals.
