Welcome, PowerUp teachers!
Applies to: Educators who help students log in to Lexia
PowerUp Literacy.
Just getting started? Here are your four steps to success:
1. Log in to your educator account
To see, create, and manage student accounts, and to see your students’ data once they’ve started using PowerUp, you’ll need to log in to myLexia, Lexia’s educator portal.
Your username is typically your school email address. Log in or reset your password at myLexia.com.
For more information, see: How do I log in to myLexia?
2. Check your class roster
Students will need to have accounts rostered in your school or district’s myLexia site before they can log in to PowerUp.
Find and manage your class on the Reading tab in myLexia. Make sure that your students are assigned to your myLexia class so that you can track their progress.
Important
Check with your school or district administrator to see if they are planning to roster classes or students for you. Some schools and districts automate rostering, or set up classes and student accounts on a district level.
If your school or district has directed you to create your own classes and/or accounts for students, see the links below for instructions.

3. Help your students log in to PowerUp for the first time
Once your students have accounts set up in myLexia, they can access PowerUp on a computer with a compatible web browser, or an iPad.
Depending on your school or district setup, students will either log directly in to PowerUp or will sign in through a portal (such as Clever).
Teacher email address: Have a teacher email address ready - students may be prompted for a teacher email address the first time they use PowerUp.
-
Direct logins on a web browser: Have students navigate to lexiapowerup.com or to your school or district's custom link for PowerUp. Learn more about custom links.
-
Direct logins on an iPad: Have students open the PowerUp app on the iPad.
-
Portal logins: Have students log in to the single sign-on portal, then select the PowerUp tile.
Important
In schools and districts that use Clever to log in to student programs on iPads, iPads will need to have the Clever app installed in addition to the PowerUp app. To log in, students should open the Clever app.
For additional tips on getting started and login recommendations see PowerUp First Day Checklist and How do Students Log in to PowerUp?
4. Check your students’ data and celebrate their success
Students can access the program independently and work at their own pace. Use your Class Overview in myLexia to see:
-
Who needs more time?
-
Who needs your help?
-
Who is making progress?
-
Who is ready to celebrate?
Your PowerUp Class Overview is on the Reading tab.
