Have a look at the archives as I have extolled the virtues of lexia many
times as people ask this question.
Very useful in secondary school -we use it in dyslexia centre  in tandem
with toe by toe / phonic code cracker/ reading reflex or whatever the
teacher ( 5 of us ) happens to be using at the moment - we do tend to chop
and change method   both because as individuals we get bored ( PAT bored me
rigid after a while) and also as we think that a particular method would
suit a particular child better than another method.
Lexia is worthwhile and definitely helps reading skills - decoding,
understanding structure of polysyllables and also comprehension -through
structured cloze exercises, our kids spend between 10 -20 mins on it in
course of hour lessons ( lessons vary from 10 a fortnight  down to 1 a
fortnight dependant upon need)
If you want anything more specific contact me directly barbara ht

Has anyone used the Lexia programme to any great extent?  We are 
thinking about buying it for our school but would be interested to hear 
what others have to say about it first.

Looking forward to your comments.
