[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] DC brought home a letter informing parents students must do Lexia for a certain of time. My child and his friends told me the reason they don't like Lexia: repetitive work; inaccurate information....It appears that their teacher doesn't like Lexia either based on some communication between the teacher and students.It's a AAP IV class. I am going to try watch my kid doing Lexia today. If there are some parents and teacher know this software, could you please share you opinion. If it is a good toll indeed, I'll make sure my kid do what he needs to do. If it is a bad tool, why do we force our kids to waste their time on this? [/quote]

Lexia is absolutely not a waste of time. It’s systematic and explicit while providing opportunities for differentiation that you will not find elsewhere. FCPS has done a wonderful thing by purchasing Lexia licenses.

How do I know? My students work with it every day and I follow up with targeted small-group instruction and opportunities for them to apply the skills learned online. Some of my second graders are identifying idioms, comparing literature, memorizing sight words, learning syllabication, learning tough spelling rules, and so much more. Lexia isn’t like ST Math at all. It’s an adaptive learning tool that teachers use in tandem with our targeted instruction.
