Student Access
The Lexia software needs to be “pushed” to individual computers. It is not web-based (exception for teacher access). Greatest success has been on computer lab computers, teacher workstations, full size laptops and the base computer of the Extendas. Minis can be used, but may freeze or experience delays.
Student SoftwareAutomatic Placement Test
First time a “NEW to Lexia” student log-ins using their unique log-in information.
Icon on the desktop or under Network Applications
Generally takes less than 10 minutes.
Click on the icon to the right to see a tutorial.
Students may begin student activities immediately after the AP test, time permitting.

Student View – The Towers
Teacher Tip: As you become more familiar with the activities, have the student show you his towers before shutting down. It is a quick way to determine if he is having difficulty with a unit without going through the teacher access site.
Sample Activities (5 minutes)
Note: The student should NOT press the stop icon before the GO icon appears. The tower will not fill in for that activity until he completes it.
