Lexia Learning, an award-winning provider of literacy assessment and instructional tools for K-12 students, today announced it has been recognized by THE Journal’s 2016 Readers’ Choice Awards as the most valuable technology provider in K-12 classrooms. Nominated by educators across the U.S., Lexia earned platinum standing, surpassing all other solutions, in the categories of Most Valuable Technology in Schools, Best Reading Program and Best Adaptive/Personalized Learning Tool. Readers also selected Lexia as one of the top three technologies currently used in schools.
