Special Education

Thousands of schools nationwide have made Lexia part of their Special Education programs to help children learn to read better.

Students who struggle with learning often have difficulty with reading comprehension, spoken language, writing, and reasoning ability.  Symptoms such as hyperactivity, inattention, and perceptual coordination problems are also common.  Children with dyslexia, a common learning disability, experience difficulty reading, spelling and writing.  Dyslexic students often suffer from an assortment of other problems including difficulties in math, auditory processing, organizational skills, and memory. 

Though a disparity between learning-disabled and non-learning disabled students may always exist, more emphasis on foundational skills, especially those that develop cognitive and reading skills, can help learning-disabled students bridge the gap.  Lexia’s programs provide these skills in a systematic manner of both structured phonics and cognitive skills.  Furthermore, the engaging format of Lexia’s software keeps students interested while still maintaining an educational environment. 

Special education students can benefit greatly from Lexia's many different software programs.  Lexia's reading skills software focuses on improving reading comprehension by strengthening phonemic awareness, sound-symbol correspondence, decoding, fluency, phonics and vocabulary.  The software, which serves everyone from 4 year olds to adults, provides students with independent practice and instruction, all of which aligns with curriculum standards and federal guidelines.  Lexia’s cognitive skills programs develop the cognitive skills that underlie visual and conceptual learning and are vital to success in reading, mathematics, science and social science.  Intended for students of ages 7 to adult, Lexia Cross Trainer strengthens their thinking, memory, and problem-solving abilities.
