[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it's totally my kid. He's to blame, so I'll let him know. Lemme call school real quick, and write an apology to Lexia for besmirching their good name this last year. He started using Lexia in the 3rd grade last year when things were virtual. He hated virtual and by extension he hated Lexia. He reads several grades ahead, scored in the tippy top percent on his SOLs, his comprehension is great (yes I know some early readers struggle with comprehension, not the issue), spelling is hit or miss but usually hit, we regularly sit and read together as a family. But he's apparently still on a Lexia level a grade and a half back. He's literally been at the Russian circus for over a year now. He also has ADHD, mental health diagnosis, tutors, a therapist, meds, accommodations in his 504... so yeah he's to blame, if you need to blame the kid and the parent. Sure. So am I. I should have quit my job last year and told him to love Lexia like he loves reading! Darn it! Bad mom.

But he gets nothing from that app. He has to do it. His teacher has to make him. She's incentivized him to try to get out the lower grade level on it by giving him his own special middle grade books to read on the side. I'm glad to know that it helps some kids, and I hope they continue to enjoy literacy, reading, writing... But if your kid hates it and they sincerely don't get anything out of it, then fine. Just stop sweating it. [/quote]

Nah, I think people were saying you were the problem, not your child.  Guess what, kids are going to do things at school that they don't enjoy. If Lexia was the only reading instruction your child was receiving then yes, contact the school and talk to them about it but that's 100% not what is happening here.[/quote]
