WELCOME TO ELA STRATEGIES/LEXIA!!
We have a very exciting year ahead of us, one that will be completely different and unpredictable. We will work hard to ensure everyone is fully supported virtually and ultimately successful.
ELA Strategies is a class designed to reinforce and provide additional support in areas of need within the scope of a typical Engligh classroom. We will focus on reading comprehension skills, vocabulary building, editing, different forms of writing, etc.
In addition to the supplement of those skills, we will also be utilizing an intensive online reading program called Lexia PowerUp.
Lexia PowerUp
Lexia PowerUp is a computer based program that designs itself around the needs of individual learners. The activities within the online program support and build on our ELA Strategies classroom curriculum, focusing on developing skills in three areas essential to becoming a more advanced reader: word study, grammar, and comprehension.
How Lexia PowerUp works:
- The very first session begins with a placement activity that determines the starting point based on individual needs. From there you will work on online activities on a daily basis that are designed just for you!
- We will have weekly usage targets ideally within 80-140 minutes. Each week we make significant progress, our target times will decrease. Ouur primary goal is to REACH our targets each week!!
- You will be rewarded for your consistant, hard work by powering up over mastered skills.
**ALL LEXIA/POWERUP ACCESS WILL BE PROVIDED DURING GOOGLE MEETS WITHIN THE FIRST WEEKS OF REMOTE LEARNING**
