Core5 Reviews & Product Details

I teach ESL and I use Core5 for newcomers if they can't score high enough on the three strands of the sister company, Lexia PowerUp. It helps with English's confusing phonics! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The students who have had to use it think it's "babyish," but in fairness, it wasn't designed for middle-school ESL students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that this is adaptive software so it lets the students learn at their own pace. I also really appreciate the individual lessons it gives you when the student is struggling on specific content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see a way for teachers to create groups. I understand it's adaptive software and that would defeat the purpose but for example. I have a group of ESL students that I'd like to be able to track their progress in a group Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Core5 has a variety of learning options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have found a few parts that can be confusing as to the question. Also, in one story it says that Octopus' squirt poisonous ink. That is NOT TRUE! If this is a learning tool for kids then all facts should be true & correct. It is not ok to just teach proper Language Arts abilities but give false facts of other subjects. All information given should be fact checked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Core5 program. It engages my students and really accomplished mastery before progressing to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program has had a few glitches in my classroom. It did not always work on a laptop and I had to have all of my students share the classroom iPads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simple interface of Lexia. It is not full of games and comic book-looking graphics. It moves students along at a nice pace and does a good job of teaching vocabulary and word meanings. It also comes loaded with resources for the teacher, so that you can personalize instruction based on student need. Students seem to like the program, so that's an added bonus.

I dislike that I cannot assign lessons for extra practice to my students. I don't know if it spiral reviews very well because many students need extra help in vocabulary topics which they have already passed in Lexia. Many of my 5th graders finish the program well before the end of their 5th grade year, so I'm not sure that it is as rigorous as other programs on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
