[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lexia is an excellent, science-backed supplemental tool that builds reading/phonics skills.

It’s not meant to replace teaching and It’s not as great as 1:1 for remediation but it’s still beneficial in some ways to most kids.

Same for a lot of the other tools. Great ways to supplement teaching and get extra practice.

It’s not an all or nothing situation.

Ok, buts it’s a supplement.  The problem is there is no actual teaching being done. They can do lexia at home.  At school, when they are with a teacher, there should be actual teaching happening. [/quote]

I have 3 kids in middle and high school in FCPS who used lexia from the covid times through middle school, so for at least a few years each.  They report having learned very little from lexia.  When they missed something, they just kept guessing answers until they got the correct one with no awareness of why that was the right answer.  I eventually taught them language arts from workbooks at home over the summer so they could develop into strong writers.  They actually really enjoyed the workbooks because they felt the accomplishment of learning.[/quote]
