Lexia Reading is a successful, web-based computer aided reading system with several programs.  It is predominantly phonics-based, beginning at initial letter level, and includes a simple comprehension element.  It will take children to a level where they can read independently and access the curriculum text books at secondary school.   Students are initially assessed and placed at the correct stage in the program.  The computer then keeps track of their progress and provides extra practice on aspects which they find difficult.  Your child will be automatically promoted to the next level as they progress.   Lexia Reading software is used successfully in thousands of schools in the UK and it is possible for children who are using Lexia within school to also use it at home on the school’s licence, if the school agrees.  If you are a teacher and would like to use Lexia in your school, please visit LexiaUK Ltd at www.lexiauk.co.uk.  However, if your child’s school does not have Lexia Reading, it is now available at a substantial discount given by the publishers, for parents to purchase for their child to use at home.  For more information visit: www.everybodylearns.co.uk and go to the ‘Lexia Reading Software’ section.
