Lexercise is an online, structured literacy program based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, which is great for kids with dyslexia and other reading challenges. It’s research-based, multi-sensory, and follows a systematic way of teaching reading, spelling, and writing.

Some parents love it because:
✔️ It’s evidence-based and follows structured literacy principles.
✔️ There’s one-on-one instruction with a trained therapist.
✔️ The online platform has games and activities for reinforcement.
✔️ It includes progress monitoring, so you can see if it’s working.

Some drawbacks:
⚠️ It’s not cheap, and insurance/schools typically don’t cover it.
⚠️ Consistency is key—kids need to do it regularly for it to be effective.
⚠️ If your child needs in-person support, online may not be ideal.

If you’re considering it, I’d check if your child qualifies for school-based Orton-Gillingham instruction first (because, hello, free). But if the school is dragging its feet, Lexercise can be a solid alternative.
