[quote=Anonymous]My 2nd grader hated it last year because she was reading 6th-8th grade level books and her Lexia was initially set to 1st grade content.  She found it terribly remedial and repetitive.  It took forever to get through the too easy material, and if she started rushing she'd accidentally hit the wrong thing and get sent to remediation.  It was dreadful.

She's caught up to something closer to her level now and it's better, though she still hates it.  She says all it covers are spelling rules.  I'm assuming that's because she aces all of the reading content and then gets stuck on spelling, her Achilles heel.

In short, the app measures kids by their weakest skill, so if they are behind in only one area then they also have to do remedial and repetitive practice in all other areas until their weakest skill improves.  It doesn't meet them where they are for each skill, which is very frustrating.

OP, I don't think there is a way to get out of it, but your child can certainly do the bare minimum.[/quote]
