Lexia - can students opt out in APS?

[Anonymous]

If a student isn't progressing and literally hates LEXIA can they opt out? It can be so frustrating when other students are done with it and we are going nowhere fast.

Is there a better option in APS?

Can you sit with your child and see why they are not progressing?

I dunno, I feel like you can opt out of pretty much anything in APS.

Maybe you should get your child a tutor.

I would LOVE to know the answer to this!

Is your kid otherwise on target? My child really doesn't like the apps and has made an agreement with his teachers to do bare minimum on them. He is 2 or more grades ahead in math and reading which I think helped make the case.

Is it set on a level that is too high for her?

I’d talk to the teacher to troubleshoot since it’s an excellent tool for literacy.

What do you want them to do instead? They usually do Lexia as part of a rotation in LA. Also, how do you know their progress? Our school specifically says not to do Lexia at home. Your kid might be on something challenging that’s taking longer to master. It’s a really great program for literacy.

Yes so excellent

App says: “Here is a flake, stool and net. Touch the one that starts with the /s/ sound.

Kid presses snowflake because duh it is a snowflake and they are half listening and gets it wrong and goes to remediation.

So excellent for literacy.

Sounds like your kid might have some difficulties with attention and/or attention to detail.

Absolutely I mean apps can’t be wrong!

Or maybe my “kid” is a young human and visual cues are overriding the monotone computer voice.

But nah- something is wrong with my kid, can’t be the excellent for literacy app!

My neighbor’s daughter opted out because she has dyslexia. I think you need a better reason than “my kid doesn’t like it.”

I sit with my kid when he gets stuck and help figure out what the issue is.

I mean yes, that’s confusing if they don’t listen to the directions. I’m sure my K could make that mistake too but the program repeats the ones they miss so he would get it the next time. Does it mean the whole app is terrible because your kid messed up something, not sure. My kid rarely uses a tablet at home so he thinks Lexia is a video game and loves it.

That's odd. My kid has dyslexia and our private tutor said that Lexia is great and we should definitely continue with it.

My kid hated Lexia with a passion. I’ll take everyone’s word for it that it’s excellent, but the kid found it to be mind numbing and was completely thrilled to be done with it.
