[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's good and bad aspects to Lexia.

OP: Your child might just be too young for the program. I know it was designed to start at K but I have a 2nd grader who can't do it independantly but same child can do the math programs alone. My 2nd grader and I do it together and there are so many problems. 
1. dexterity. Too slow to type, repeat.
2. speed. It's really slow.
3. repetition...way too slow.
4. unclear directions
5. stop in the middle of the lesson, repeat the lesson (I think).
6. content in no way matches developmental level and sometimes the various spelling words are widely different in one lesson.

That said, I have a 5th grader who likes it. His reading comprehension is far above his spelling ability and Lexia adjusts for that. Sometimes he can't figure out how to do a lesson but with a little trial and error it works out.

I don't think it's good for kids with short attention spans.[/quote]

Op here - I suspect that might have something to do with it. She is about as young as you can get in first grade with a September birthday. She is an incredibly good reader but I think some of the speed and dexterity issues might be an issue I hadn’t considered. [/quote]
