Lexia Strategies for Older Students is designed for remedial students in grades 6 and above, at a Tier II and Tier III level. Strategies for Older Students develops foundational reading skills through an engaging interface designed specifically for struggling students in grades 6–12. The activities incorporate high utility words and academic vocabulary with age-appropriate topics, while students develop the basic skills necessary for becoming successful readers.
When students first log into the program, they are automatically placed at the proper level and work at their own pace on developing their foundational reading skills in a mature, focused learning interface. If a student begins to struggle in any skill activity, the program provides scaffolding, simplifying the task to allow students to practice that skill with additional support to help ensure success. Once they demonstrate proficiency in this scaffolded practice environment, students return to the standard task to continue in the program.
