LXD Research

ESSA-LXD-RESEARCH-EBLI

EBLI has earned ESSA Level IV certification, demonstrating a research-based rationale for improving literacy through its unique speech-to-print approach.

Backed by LXD Research, EBLI equips teachers with asynchronous training, modeled lessons, and over 100 student-facing activities targeting all core literacy components. This method accelerates reading, spelling, and writing skills by focusing on phoneme awareness and linguistic logic.

Results show notable student growth when EBLI is used and significant decline when it’s not, highlighting its essential role in effective reading instruction.
