Stacks of books are usually the answer

1. Close Lexia.
2. Go to library
3. Check out stack of books.

There is room for both Lexia and lots of reading books.

My daughter is so close to finishing Lexia and can't wait to be done with it. The final sections of grammar are way beyond what they are actually taught, so finishing lessons has become painful

Which grade?

Our school has asked to not do Lexia at home. So, I haven't seen how it looks. But my kid loves working on it at school.
Is it possible to take a look at Lexia from Schoology website? I have never tried that.

My kids have both progressed a lot on Lexia over the past year and my older child says it has really helped her. Both of my kids read a ton of books, it's not one or the other.

I was chatting with my son today and, out of the blue, he told me he had read some really interesting stories on Lexia and then proceeded to tell me about them. He’s in 8th grade. It was realy cute, but it made me think of DCUM and all the hate on technology. My son is not a big reader, so the fact that he found enjoyment on the Lexia platform warms my heart.

My middle school child is an outstanding reader, so she placed in Advanced when she took the placement test and only had to do a few units before she finished comprehension.

She finished word study a few weeks after that.

Grammar, however, has taken her all of seventh grade so far to finish because she placed in Foundational, so she's had to do almost all the units. She said she is on the last part of the last level now, and she expects to finish this week.

As a parent of an AAP child who has always been an outstanding reader, reading 3-6 grade levels ahead since age 4, I had no idea that my child was struggling with grammar so much, so I am grateful to Lexia for identifying that need and helping her through it.

DD's seventh grade history and English teachers are the first teachers who have held her accountable for her grammar in her writing, and who,have actually taught her why her mistakes were mistakes. I am crediting both Lexia and those two teachers for helping my child grow so she can become a better writer. I've tried to help her with writing at home, but shes always been extremely resistant to my feedback, so I am glad Lexia and good teachers are helping her so much.

As a parent, I see a lot of value in the program when it's paired with good instruction from teachers.

Agree - it can be a great tool to make sure there aren’t any gaps.

Why wouldn't you want your child to learn grammar? It's not like they teach them any grammar at FCPS.
