Lexercise for Schools is a win-win platform that engages students in structured literacy lessons and practice while also providing professional development for teachers.
The Lexercise for Schools platform provides the Lexercise Structured Literacy Curriculum™ in a classroom-friendly format. Teachers use multimedia, direct-instruction lessons that explain concepts with extreme clarity and stimulate interactive discussion and practice. To supplement group activities, the program generates individualized, self-paced solo practice that reinforces concepts taught in the lessons, responds to individual needs, and provides progress data. As teachers use the program, they learn the neuroscience of literacy, the structure of written English, and how to detect and correct problems. This virtual apprenticeship in structured literacy methods reduces teacher planning time and, over time, builds effective reading coaches who understand reading science and how to apply it.
The Lexercise Structured Literacy Curriculum™ is based on consensus reading science and principles of literacy instruction endorsed by the International Literacy Association, the International Dyslexia Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
We are happy we have helped over 200,000 families since we launched in 2008. Lexercise is proud to be an International Dyslexia Association (IDA) Accredited ProgramPLUS. To learn more about structured literacy and how it differs from less effective methods of reading instruction see this introductory guide from the International Dyslexia Association.
