Lexia

What is Lexia?

Our school is using Lexia Strategies™, a web-based reading program that provides the targeted practice and instruction students need to develop their reading skills. As an added benefit, students can use Strategies at home. Each student has their own log on which they will use in school, and can be used at home.

We will not be setting any formal homework for every student, but some tutors may ask some students to look at particular activities to boost their learning.

Our tutors can look at the information provided by Lexia so that they can see what each student has been working on and help them further.

How to access Lexia

Go to the Lexia website and login. The first time you access Lexia Strategies, you must set it up:

  • Click the Student/Parent button.
  • Type in your teacher’s email address and click the arrow button to continue.

Allow or help your child to login. The student username and password is the same login they use at school and has been attached to the letter sent home. Lexia will then remember who they are and automatically log them into the tasks.

Finally, It’s really important to allow your child to work independently at his or her own pace. Provide encouragement, but don’t give away the answers! It’s recommended that they spend an average of 20-30 minutes per session. We recommend that usage be kept to a reasonable level – not too short and not too long.
