[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lexus is ridiculous. My 3rd grader hates it and randomly drops words here and there and clicks on things just to get it moving, so it says she’s on a 1st grade reading level. She wasn’t at a 1st grade level when she was actually in 1st grade. So she refuses to do it. And I won’t make her. [/quote]

This is exactly what my kids do. I keep trying to tell them that if they just take it seriously, they will have a better experience. It’s unfortunate that the teachers don’t seem to be willing to increase the levels to provide more of a challenge. [/quote]

The teachers do not want to increase the levels because then their (the teacher’s) Lexia profile could go down.  [/quote]

Nope, not true about the teacher’s “profile” going down. That’s not even a thing.

As teachers, we can’t just raise the levels. We’ve been told the kids need to work through the levels. My school only gave the ok to raise a child’s level when there was a software bug that prevented a student  from completing a level she was almost done with anyway.

I have found that there’s really not enough time in this shortened school day to get all the Lexia time and all the Dreambox lessons in. The programs can be used after school, however.

OP, I’m really sorry your child’s teacher is keeping kids out of math or writing, or even worse, closing activities, due to Lexia time. That’s not my cup of tea, nor would it ever be allowed at my school, but I guess there are people who do that. Sigh.

If you get the time in after school though, hopefully that should avoid this problem. Be aware though, Lexia goals can and do change, so be sure to check each week so you know what the current goal is.[/quote]
