Please do not let him do that. The longer he can use the same tasks over and over again, the faultier the data given to the program is.
How so? Isn't it supposed to be responsive and dynamic based on what the kid does?
What I said above comes directly from our Lexia training.

Interesting.
Then please note that "Clever" opens a new tap every time it's opened and everything anything is clicked in Clever.
How do I close 24 tabs at once?
You can go into settings and change the Safari settings to close tabs daily.
That is true. In the short term, double-click on the home button. You’ll see the Safari tile. Swipe up to close all tabs at once.

NP here: IT's my understanding that it is responsive and if he "levels up" he's doing it. Furthermore, it gives different levels for different skills so if a kid spells like poo but reads and comprehends great, those skills will be at different levels and they will progress differently.
My kid just started Lexia, but it seems to work that way. Dreambox is the same - according to the parent dashboard my kid is in 1st grade on some skills and 2nd grade for others.
It doesn’t. It’s not as smart as DreamBox. I have two kids two years apart— they are getting the exact same content.

As a teacher who spent much of this morning dealing with various glitches I would recommend this as well. It can impact myaccess, clever, seesaw as well.

I hate that the reading section tells the speed at which the student is reading. My son already reads too fast, which impacts his comprehension. Having an app showing him a faster speed each time does not help ...

I don’t believe this is true. We did a pretest to set level, but all the “skills” once that was done are on the same level. You can find YouTube videos where someone demos the levels. Here’s the chart of levels- https://www.lexialearning.com/sites/default/files/Scope_Sequence.pdf
