About the innovation

What is Lexplore?

Award winning assessment

Our assessment, developed at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, is based on over 30 years of scientific research. By combining eye tracking and artificial intelligence, a pupil’s reading ability can be analysed in minutes. This solution provides teachers with real-time data for intervention that directly correlates to a pupils reading capability. The key competitive advantages of the assessment are speed, objectivity and accuracy while also enabling personalised learning and resource optimisation.


  • Objective & equitable

  • Saves time

  • Proven to be as accurate as other more time consuming methods

  • Offers insights into key elements of reading

  • Connects to curated books & reading practice at the right level

  • Take a sneak peek into Lexplore

Insights from the assessment

Reading is the key to success in school and in life

As a teacher, you'll also receive teacher guidelines and lesson plans in order to prepare your pupils' assignments for each phase of their reading development.

Every child deserves to master the skill of reading. To help them achieve this, Lexplore provides Fluency Books at each reading ability level. Fluency practice and reading comprehension spark the joy of reading. With Lexplore, they also get leveled and motivating books through automatic book recommendations all based on our AI & Eye Tracking Assessment. 

Fluency Practice

Lexplore's fluency practice is based on the idea that decoding is one of the key factors needed to develop one's reading comprehension. The model, The Simple View of Reading, is an evidence-based, accepted model. Practicing the connection between sound and letter in a structured way gives good results for strengthening both decoding and reading fluency. The Phonics method is therefore the basis of the material Lexplore offers for level-adjusted training.


  • Our reading fluency training is designed to support every level to help every student grow!

  • Created to fit each reading ability level

  • Developed by special education teachers and based on international research

Teacher’s guides 

Teacher’s guides boost your class’s reading engagement and offer you systematic methods for teaching reading. The guides consist of three areas of focus: decoding and fluency, language comprehension, and reading strategies, which together lead to improved reading comprehension.


  • Ready-to-use yearly planning and lesson plans

  • Improve reading comprehension

  • Reading strategies for all types of texts

  • Recommended exercises for each of the Key Stages

  • Developed by special education teachers and based on international research

Impact & scalability

Impact & Scalability

Innovativeness

Lexplore combines science and diagnostic technique in a way that has not been possible before, providing a completely new service for the timely discovery of dyslexia.

Impact

So far, Lexplore has screened around 8,000 children in the US and In Sweden. Lexplore’s screening method has very high accuracy – an impressive 95%. By discovering the children who are at risk of dyslexia, the method eliminates the need for unnecessary, extensive and costly dyslexia assessments of the children who are not at risk, thus saving time and resources.

Scalability

Originating in Sweden, Lexplore has recently launched in the US.

The model is being developed for use with different languages in the future with high scalability in terms of markets and languages.

Implementation steps

Arrange for Lexplore to visit your school
Experienced Lexplore staff conduct the test on the school premises. Each child is asked to read two short texts on a computer screen, while his or her eye movements are recorded by an eye tracker. It takes only five minutes and the child returns to class straight after.
Receiving the results
The results are accessible to authorised people and presented at several different levels – at the individual level, at school level or at the school district or city level. It’s clear which children are at risk and which are not at risk of dyslexia.
Acting on the results
The results will indicate which children are at risk of dyslexia, giving a percentage risk and indicating the ability to read individual letters as well as running text. Schools can use this data to target full diagnostic assessments, saving time and money and ensuring timely diagnosis.
