• Lexia Strategies for Older Students is a reading skills development system designed especially for students aged 8 through to adult requiring tuition in basic reading skills, presented in an age neutral interface.
• The activities provide practice in decoding skills, early comprehension, and keyboard skills. Students control their own activities providing motivation, but each student must show both competency and fluency in each skill before moving on.
• Activities reinforce word attack strategies necessary for automatic word recognition. Exercises include one-, two, and multi-syllable words, as well as sentences and paragraphs to provide practice in applying word attack strategies to contextual material.
• Children more than three years behind in their reading development learnt quickly, rapidly catching up with their peers.

After the student takes the test, the computer generates at-a-glance reports in both graphic and tabular form to indicate the students' strengths and weaknesses in each skill area. The reports allow the teacher to easily recognize the specific areas where practice or instruction is needed for an individual or even an entire class.

The Lexia Quick Reading Test, which can track up to 90 students, creates an electronic Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each student and suggests beneficial activities and units in Lexia's skill development software according to the student's needs. With the Lexia Quick Reading Test, the teacher immediately clearly recognizes where to concentrate instruction, allowing for a curriculum better suited to the children's needs.

The picture to the bottom right shows an example of a graphic report and its list of prescribed activities. This student has mastered single vowel sounds, but needs help with vowel combinations and multi-syllable words.
