Lexercise is a personalized literacy program that provides you and your child with lessons, games, and activities based on the latest research in reading science and the Orton-Gillingham approach. Guided by our comprehensive structured literacy curriculum, your child will soon be reading and spelling with confidence.


As both a curriculum and a platform, Lexercise is designed to both teach a student to read and to develop in the student a love for reading.


  • The Lexercise Structured Literacy Curriculum™ is aligned with the science of reading and designed to establish accurate and fluent decoding and spelling, AND, it is designed to stimulate curiosity about words, including what they mean, why they are spelled as they are, and how they have changed over time.


  • The Lexercise platform provides customized daily practice using engaging games with immediate feedback to improve decoding and spelling, AND it provides a variety of ways to engage the student in conversations about words and reading.

By the time children enter school, their oral language is very well-developed. When they are tasked with using symbols to represent what they hear and say, challenges emerge. What is missing for many children is the means of linking their spoken language to groups of abstract symbols (words) so the process becomes natural and instinctive and so reading comprehension occurs.


The task before us is how to teach reading in a way that children will retain their mental images of what is being communicated even when they are working with just symbols. Child1st reading resources are designed to provide those mental images as children are learning to read so they don’t struggle to learn.


Easy-for-Me™ combines sight word instruction with explicit, systematic phonics instruction, because both are important for emerging readers. Reading lessons are truly multi-sensory, which means that children who have dyslexia, autism, auditory processing challenges, those with Down Syndrome, or ADHD will enjoy learning in a way that makes sense to them.


Using SnapWords® along with teaching phonics aids in both reading fluency and comprehension. Children will acquire a strong base of over 600 words and will learn how to break the words apart into their phonics base.


Easy-for-Me™ Reading is perfectly suited for beginners learning to read as well as those who have struggled under more traditional methods, including children in Special Education, resource rooms, students who are ESOL, and more.
