[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lexia is great though. [/quote] I found Lexia helpful when my kids were younger … 1st and 2nd. The issue I’m seeing now that my oldest is finishing 4th is that they are doing too much on these baby apps and programs instead of reading whole books and writing longer papers and assignments. Again, my kid is finishing 4th. He knows how to read. Yet they still make them do 3x IReady assessments in reading a year. When they’re young, you can see the changes in how they are able to decode and read more complex texts as the year goes on. But as older kids it’s just not super helpful. And the tests are sooooo long. They could be doing other stuff but nope, 3 long ass IReadys every year and you don’t even get the results of them until weeks if not months later. [/quote]
