Week 6: New Tool: Lexia

Lexia

Lexia is a school- wide online learning site that helps with students' development of oral language, reading, spelling, and writing skills for students. Students receive student-driven and teacher-directed personalized instruction when using Lexia, which can greatly benefit their learning. Students work independently through individualized learning activities. All students can work at their own pace. Educators are informed when students need help and/ or support.

How Lexia can be used in the classroom:

- Promotes targeted, individualized instruction

- Blended learning opportunities, if needed

- Offers students some choices and interactive game- like questions

- Offers teachers useful data and additional resources that cater to students learning needs

What Lexia provides for educators:

- Formatively assess students without traditional testing

- Provides individualized instruction for students to help meet them where they are

- Provides resources that can be used for enrichment and/ or during face- to- face instruction

Changes for future instruction:

When implementing future instruction, I can use Lexia not only during reading centers, but during English lessons as well. Lexia can help students improve their English skills, which could improve their understanding of the English language and common grammar rules.
