Lexia PowerUp Literacy Wins Tech & Learning “Best of Show” Award at ISTE 2018
July 12 2018 - 9:00AM
Lexia Learning today announced that its online literacy program
Lexia PowerUp Literacy (PowerUp) received Tech & Learning’s
2018 ISTE Best of Show award. The awards were presented at the
International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) annual
conference in Chicago.
For the fifth year, Tech & Learning’s ISTE 2018 Best of Show
awards highlighted outstanding products exhibited at ISTE. A panel
of professional users and editors selected the products having the
most impact in the classroom and the greatest potential to be game
changers in education technology as the winners. The judges rated
their impressions on a sliding scale, evaluating areas such as
quality and effectiveness, ease of use and creative use of
technology. They then met in person to decide which technologies
will have the most impact in the classroom and deserved to be named
Best of Show. “Once again, the ISTE show floor was inundated
with edtech—from the latest in coding, robotics and makerspace gear
to sophisticated upgrades in interactive hardware offerings,” said
Tech & Learning’s Managing Director of Content Kevin Hogan.
“And once again, our expert panel of judges kicked the tires. It’s
a yeoman’s task and we take it seriously in selecting these
companies and their products.”
Developed specifically to enhance core English Language Arts
instruction for non-proficient readers in grades 6 and above,
PowerUp identifies skill gaps and provides personalized learning
paths in word study, grammar and comprehension. With a range of
relevant, high-interest authentic texts; instructional videos; and
game-based motivational elements, the program is designed to help
students take ownership of their learning, acknowledging their
growing autonomy and building their confidence. PowerUp empowers
secondary teachers—regardless of their background or expertise in
reading—to deliver the exact instruction each student needs to
become a proficient reader.
PowerUp is the newest addition to Lexia’s pre-K–12 portfolio of
literacy solutions. The company’s award-winning Lexia Reading Core5
program is research-proven to accelerate the development of
fundamental literacy skills for students of all abilities in grades
pre-K–5. Lexia RAPID Assessment is a computer-adaptive universal

whether emergent readers or adolescent readers.
