[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is they use it as a replacement for teaching. The students at our elementary do not receive grammar lessons or spelling lessons. In fact, this year they are not receiving vocabulary lessons.  Lexia is not monitored by teachers.  We just use it to keep everyone busy. [/quote]

Would they really be doing grammar and spelling anyway? I'm the poster with K child on level 13 and relative to what my older child got in K (all sight words, three-cueing, basically no grammar or spelling), I'll take Lexia because it's attempting to teach phonics and has a scope and sequence.

We don't do Lexia at home, but we are doing All About Reading, so that might have contributed to the progress. Also passing a level doesn't translate into always getting those concepts right outside of Lexia. I think it's allowing my child to pass too fast somehow, which seems like a flaw, but at the same time some of the lessons are getting into their head because my child tells me what they learned.

They do actually talk about letter sounds in class, which also seems like an improvement from the past. I do think there's way more instruction they could do but maybe I've lowered my standards, but I think time on Lexia is better than time on guessing/leveled readers, so I'm relatively happier with the school than I was with my other child.[/quote]
