Has anyone used or have any knowledge/experience of the lexercise program?

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.
