[quote=Anonymous]My kid (1st grade) hated Lexia last year. To the point of screaming and crying. I asked the teacher and the teacher said to just take a break. My kid rarely likes it, but will do it with less frustration now, sometimes. My kid is kind of a perfectionist and gets really frustrated with remediation because they don't like to be wrong. Personally, I think the sound the program makes for a wrong answer to be completely unhelpful in this regard. My younger child (in kindergarten) similarly hates it. Maybe this is because they've seen their other sibling hate it. I just don't sweat it. They do it, or they don't. Its not my hill to die on right now. I do find that when I sit with my kids as they do it I think Lexia does a really poor job of explaining concepts. The remediation has decent explanations, but its almost like the kid has to get it wrong before being taught how to do it right. Not exactly setting kids up for success.[/quote]
