[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an educator who has been trained and steeped in literacy instruction, I can tell you that you’re barking up the wrong tree if you’re saying that Lexia is boring, ineffective, and inaccurate. Lexia—Core5 and PowerUp programs have 3 components: online, small group (teacher led) lessons, and independent Skill Builders. Using all three takes a degree of skill and training that many teachers haven’t yet acquired. So, they’re mad that it’s new and “hard” and it can color the way in which it’s presented to and used with students. If teacher doesn’t like it and/or use it correctly, students won’t like it or use it correctly.

A few questions.

One, how does a teacher fit all of that in-- the three components of Lexia-- and still teach their entire ELA curriculum?

Two, how does a teacher do small group, teacher-led lessons if every student is working on something different in Lexia?

Three, how much time per day is being taken up by Lexia if all ofmthe above is occurring?[/quote]
