[quote=Anonymous]I strongly believe my son got a bad placement because of misunderstanding the questions or something. He is an excellent reader, as evidenced by my own observations plus standardized test scores, but Lexia placed him barely at grade level. I wish I had made a fuss about it, honestly. It made school miserable for him.

Near the end of fifth grade I did tell the teacher I didn’t want him to do Lexia and insisted he read hardcover books instead during that time. This was because I pulled him out of school for a year and a half and when he resumed lexia, he just started up at the beginning of fifth grade where he left off off in third grade instead of getting a new placement test. I hated to be a high-maintenance parent but the teacher and principal didn’t have a problem with it.

Lexia is great for a lot of kids but I don’t think it’s good for advanced readers. Yes there will be things they learn that they don’t already know, like some Greek affixes, but for my son that happened about one in every twenty lessons. [/quote]
