[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speak for yourself when you say, “we don’t”. Perhaps you don’t. Again, it takes a high level of skill, knowledge, and confidence to execute. It’s a research-based program and it produces results when implemented with fidelity. I’m not here for a debate—just stating facts. Those who aren’t using it correctly don’t really have a leg to stand on when they speak of tge program’s shortcomings. [/quote]

Can you answer the three questions above? I'm curious how teachers can:

- teach their entire ELA curriculum while also using Lexia with fidelity

- meet with Lexia small groups if everyone is working on a completely different skill

- use Lexia for 60 minutes each week if they only have ELA class for a total of 180 minutes each week and they still need to cover everything else in their curriculum

My child's ELA teacher is having the students work on Lexia this year but I see a big difference in the topics and lessons covered in that class compared to what my older children experienced with the same teacher, and I suspect it is because Lexia is taking up so much time. I'm not yet sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but I am definitely aware that there is less writing, fewer texts covered, and no whole-class lessons on Greek and Latin roots or analogies the way my older children experienced.
