[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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 [u]so much[/u], 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.[/quote]

It is shocking how fcps completely failed to teach grammar and composition. What a shame.0[/quote]
