Lexia

 This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically, Lexia in the software list. Their website describes why Lexia is a good resource for teaching literacy. 



Lexia is an online literacy tool and has interactive lessons for students to practice their literacy skills. The lessons get more difficult as a student gets correct answers and stays on the same difficulty level when a student is not getting the correct answers. Lexia uses the science of reading as the basis for their lessons so best methods are being used with Lexia. 

Lexia is user friendly and is easy for both teachers and students to use. It is used for just literacy but can be beneficial for all students to use. I think that the likelihood of using this technology in my future classroom is good, in the class I am volunteering in the students were using this program for their literacy practice. 

Lexia falls under the presenting the content event in the 7 event framework and under the eliciting the desired behavior event.

This is a great way to keep students engaged in the lessons. I also love that Lexia uses the science of reading, that is excellent!
