this sucks! what a scam! they call it reading, but its more like personal torture lectures! stay. away! :@

(Rewritten a third time) Lexia is the most deplorable excuse for literacy practice that I've ever used. First we'll get into the functions, then the problems, and then we'll do my personal experience. How it functions Lexia puts you on a placement test at the beginning of each year. I don't know if you can reset someone's Lexia progress, but you likely can. The placement test stays the same throughout your time using the program. The more questions you get right, the higher you'll place on the placement, which leads to you doing less Lexia. Or it can place you on a lower level, meaning you have to spend TONS of time on lexia. After that, you have three options: Comprehension, Word study, and Grammar. Comprehension gives you vocabulary words and also gives units without you doing anything. The questions are typically easy and don't cause as much stress. Word study is mostly trial and error, you can get questions correct consecutively, or you can make a simple typo, and you have to wait for 30 minutes to even DO anything. There also also timed tasks. Grammar is the worst, it gives sentences and makes you highlight the correct words. And there are also timed stuff. (Like Word study) Problems Repetition is probably the most major problem, The program repeats the same questions, just in different formats. And that it makes one of the worst parts of this site. In Grammar, two minor mistakes sends you to a side lesson with like 8 questions. Even worse, it doesn't even count for a UNIT. Would you rather take 30 seconds to Google the answers, or take 20 minutes completing the questions? And that in the "finale" One mistake, Back to the beginning you go and now you gotta do it again. Comprehension is the only bearable one because it doesn't punish you for wrong answers. The program had the choose the most monotone, soulless, robotic, slow voice that ever existed. They could've added human voices that would take longer, but it would make the program less boring and slow. The length and pacing is another major problem, some lessons and units drag on forever, others go at lightspeed. Maybe fix the pacing so that all lessons and units are the same difficulty and length. Difficulty is also major, some questions are so easy that toddlers can do it, others require an Einstein-level brain to complete. The last major problem is their use of AI, in Grammar, this is ESPECIALLY true, It will mark your response incorrect even though you put the right answer. Personal experience I use PowerUp, and this program is widely hated at my school, This was basically made so teachers have an excuse to not teach. I don't use it because One, the teachers don't grade it. Two, they want us to get 20 units a week. Three, the program is ineffective and frustrating. My ELA teacher said that the school spends $10k on this useless learning tool, yes, 10 GRAND. And my ELA teacher says that "It helps you! You ain't using it right!" For me, it doesn't, and the same with other kids at my school. Not saying it helps kids AT ALL. But, back to the topic And that sometimes she doesn't care about it, other times she places a heavy, heavy, and I do mean a HEAVY emphasis on this site. My usage of this site began in 6th grade, I avoided it the first 9 weeks, but locked in on the next 9 weeks. They graded Lexia then, but they don't now. But in 7th grade, it wasn't great at the start, now I stand on everyone's statements. The only saving grace for this site is the music. But the point I want to make is that Lexia is an Ineffective, boring, repetitive program that works against you, hoping to make your grades suffer. 1/5 The worst program at my school.

Where do I start? I’m in 10th grade and I think this stuff is absolutely nonsense. It’s teaching me things I learned in 2nd maybe 3rd grade. The AI robot lady yaps NONSTOP and FOREVER. And out of all honesty? This application is AWFUL, worse than Iready. By a LONGSHOT. I would rather watch paint dry for hours than do this for 10 minutes. God awful.

it is very bad and ii don't want to do it anymore but I have to my friend punched his computer and it restarts you and its learning not good I need to focus on math but I hhvae to do this so it sucks really badly

The 2 minigames before you start learning is fun I speedruned both and got 30-40 points! And level 15th about texting the people and iguana was super cool! Thanks to some fun levels I could give it a 5 star but some was boring.

horrible app. I am trying to convince the school board to ban it. and DO NOT reply " we are sorry for your less than ideal expereance. we value your feedback and it helps us improve the app", YOU DONT, IF YOU DID THE APP WOULD BE SHUT DOWN.

When I accidentally clicked a button it made me go out of the game I went back in and my progress was reset. Also I doesnt help you with learning since i learned nothing

this made me dumber and i was chilling and i realized i need to do 30 min so i do the 30 min then is says i need to do 25 more min and 1 hour later i still had 2 min left total waste of my night
